Best Slobbery Poems

When I had to leave, if you’re finding it tough.
Because forever would not have been enough.
Try not to let your lonely, broken heart, heave.
If you’re finding it tough when I had to leave.

I wanted to stay, I know you needed me,
Despite the love we shared,...

Happiness is the first rain that breaks the drought,
           Seeing the joyful faces on farmers all about.
Happiness is a young child soaring high on a swing,

 Puppy Love at 55
When I am wise, I’ll turn to puppy love
With generous doses of truth and innocence, almost no shame …
“Her be my gal!” Or “Me gonna marry him, so you jus’ shove!”
Sound adorable. Singing, “He is mine. I am his. Gonna get...

A kiss to greet to say hello
A kiss goodbye before you go
A kiss written in a love letter
Though a few more would have been better.

A kiss that's soft and lingering slow
Body felt tingles from top to toe
A kiss to soothe a child's grazed knee
Who plays...

My heart stopped beating with hers- 
for we were connected by blood and 
tears. 
If only Karen was here…
            once again.

Yes, I could pick anyone in the 
entire universe; I know this. 
Yet, one...

mother, soft your love
like pure rain drops from heaven
wet slobbery kiss…

One of my grandsons, name of Benjamin
He likes eating toast made with cinnamon
But uses his wits
To not eat his grits
Then excuses himself like a gentleman

Charlie thrives on competition
Out smarting you is his mission
Bear hugs
Tiny bugs, 
And “stick to it” repitition

William’s impish smile is contagious
The attention...

Have you ever wondered? 
Being in an adult blunder 
A reason for going to class 
Besides the well-known intellectual pass 
Is it to learn the alphabet?
Addition subtraction you may get
Going to the swing set for fun 
After morning school work is done 
Lessons get tougher...

Poems about Dogs

This Dog
by Rabindranath Tagore
loose translation by Michael R. Burch

Each morning this dog,
who has become quite attached to me,
sits silently at my feet
until, gently caressing his head,
I acknowledge his company.

This simple recognition gives my companion such joy
he shudders with sheer delight.

Among all languageless creatures
he...

Upon this floor I sit, 
huggin' the porcelain bowl;
My stomach's tied in knots, 
Feels like I'm gonna blow!

I should'a used my head,
why didn't I ever think?
Instead I hung around, 
to have another drink!

One led to another,
another led to more;
Next thing y'know 
I was drownin' on...

Loyalty is my middle name as I wait for her all day,
oh, and when that door opens I bark and start nagging!
Slobbery wet kisses I give saying “I love you” in my own way,
I’m so filled with puppy excitement my tail won’t stop wagging!

See, I...

Doggerel II: Doggerel about Doggerel, or, More Nonsense Verse

The Board
by Michael R. Burch

Accessible rhyme is never good.
The penalty is understood:
soft titters from dark board rooms where
the businessmen paste on their hair
and, Walter Mitties, woo the Muse
with reprimands of Dr. Seuss.

The best book of the age...

My spouse and I attended my thirtieth class reunion at Lydia's Smorgasbord.
I had avoided such past events since in high school I was largely ignored!
But my wife proclaimed that we would attend, thus ending that debate!
The dreaded encounter is expressed in verse below that I...
