Best Malamute Poems

At daybreak,  
I approach the beach across a soft hill of clover, 
past sleeping Pandanus palms,
and down a small sand dune.

I am enveloped by sea wind.

I look up to a flight of swallows - symbol of returning.
They occupy the airspace of seagulls.
A kookaburra laughs,...

Alaska; the wilderness state, the last frontier:
Where majestic mountains,
Deliver streams into flowing rivers:
Down slopes covered in forests
Of Sitka Spruce and Western Hemlock,
That dominates the landscape.
The name Alaska originates
From the Aleut word ‘Alyeska,’
Meaning the ‘mainland’ or literally:
‘The object toward which the action of the sea is...

Soccer ball made from granola, dried grapes
Honey, brown sugar, oats, sunflower seeds
Almonds and chocolate chips form the ball that is fun to
Play the soccer game where everyone wins and the goalie eats the ball.

Eleven comedic players on each team want that
Soccer ball running after the...

The Spaniel

A Spaniel that uses its head 
Can tell when its owner’s unfed 
So instead of a duck
That is down on its luck 
Will deliver a pizza instead
 
The Affenpinscher (Affen)

Not sniffle nor snuffle nor wheeze 
Not chest in distress if you please 
None we...

My malamute-German Shepherd puppy Buddy was glad to see my twin sis. 
He jumped from couch to recliner to couch, wagging his tail in pure joy.
When he flew into the second couch, it scooted three feet into the kitchen.
His head went back and forth as...

Once upon a summer’s eve, when I was younger, I met a person over the phone.
She was the concerned mother of my daughter’s new best 14-year-old friend, Sandra Bone.
Our conversation led to psychical stories, when suddenly she asked, “What are you doing right now?”
Nothing, I...

He is from the great USA state of Texas, so he has bragging rights.
Everything is bigger and better there, they have incredible sights.
Stetson’s are bigger, their cowboy boots are made with more leather.
If we have a tornado, they have a cyclone and hailstorm in their...

Somnambulist’s Awakening


the malamute ceiling flying in my hearing
buzzes my acrid thoughts with the climaxed annoyance 
when the shadowy light lifted in the nightmare

Einstein in Grayling jumps into nothingness
tasting his own fear
“Relativity, my dear Watson” he mumbles
he touches it touching me.

the Everest with obsidian face calls
“For...

Some of the local thugs were tipping their mugs in the Malamute Saloon;
The music box sat still, as the keep slammed the till and wolves howled at the moon.
Then there appeared, right back of the bar, an apparition that no one knew;
Down in the dumps,...

Variations On A Theme...
of hodgepodge strewn helter skelter
wonky inviting reader to mentally swelter.

Ach'n (ache Ken and burn'n) 
kickstarting existential and proverbial struggle
me species classified as generic muggle
analogous to entertainer 
with namesake of yours truly
starring an out of world 
stellar performer who doth juggle
regarding mein kampf,...

The birdie and the crocodile, 
My muse threw out and up.
But what if the birdie was a cardinal?
And could the crocodile be a pup?

The birdie and the toothbrush,
My muse said with no teeth.
I smiled at the feeling that
She was irritated beyond belief.

The birdie and the...

Big Blue, my Alaskan Malamute greeted my friend with a wide tail wag.
He ran back to the car, rolled down the window and yelled “Is this a gag?”
Are you afraid of dogs? I asked. I did not know that about you.
No, but I am afraid...
