Best Snickers Poems
Barking at the people who
walk behind our house
is a dog that as a pup
was bought by my spouse.
Tiny border collie mix
he was meant to be,
but a Texas cow dog is
what most people see!
Chocolate-caramel, nutty too,
so it seems just right
he’s named for a candy bar;
just don’t take a bite!
Word Count shows 62 but different at another one. I count 60.

In 7/5 Trochee form. Topic #4: Your Pet
Off his leash, he escapes,
diving under a chair.
Through each room of our house,
he darts here; he darts there.
Little scamp can’t be caught.
He careens crazily.
For his collar I reach,
but he dashes from me.
To his food dish he goes,
Ah! My time has now come.
He is back on the leash
and unable to run.
I know our puppy will calm down in time.
We find his toys and bones he likes to bite.
We gently rub his tummy as he lies
beside us with the coming of the night.
Lullaby, Doggie.
Lay down your head.
Sweet dreams for our Snickers
asleep on our bed.

Rhythm Poems
Lavish mealtimes, Snicks would evade
She grew weak though paws jumped around
Clinging tighter, sweeter than dachsund licks;
Then... on fateful one noon, she simply heaved her last
Wink of dachshund eyes locked upon mine ,
The rain tears tapping, d r i f t i n g on my bosom --
Reveries of us brought raw pain, immeasurable joy
You, not a heartbeat far from my soul
That I rocked you where our herbal bush rested. Ever.

For Snickers, Aug. 2013 - May 3, 2022
My husband fell in love with him on sight -
the little puppy he brought home one day.
In welcoming him we took such delight -
the way he got excited just to play
or how he was so glad to see us when
we got home from our jobs; he’d wag his tail,
then run to get his rope on which to tug.
So glad indeed were we with him back then.
The years flew by. We got to know him well -
like how he would stand up to get a hug!
Yes, on his two hind legs he would rise up
to let us hug him. Oh, he was our star -
our Snickers named for being a sweet pup,
with markings colored like a Snicker’s bar.
He was not perfect. All pets have their flaws.
But he caught on to most things easily -
like how to act while we were traveling.
He loved his little treats. How sweet he was.
When grandchildren came over, breezily
he played; then things began unraveling.
Our dearest Snickers, with such love to give,
became afflicted, but we did not know
how little time our dog had yet to live.
How greatly did we grieve to see him go.
No more to get to see his cute brown eyes
or listen to him begging for his treat.
No more long walks and things we used to do
like watching him with Christmas toys he’d prize.
Without our doggy, life’s not quite complete.
Dear Snickers, always we’ll remember you.

Our Lovely Dog Snickers
I was directed today,
To a brand new web site.
It’s all about pets,
And some of their plights.
It got me to thinking,
Of a dog we once had.
She was part of the family;
I felt more like her dad.
When I was at work,
One thing I knew sure.
She was waiting for me,
Her heart was so pure.
When she knew it was time
For me to get home.
She’d wait by the door,
With a toy or a bone.
She’d have a smile on her face,
Her tail would be wagging.
Her affection for me
Never seemed lagging.
If I said, so she’d hear,
“I’m taken’ the truck.”
She always got excited;
She hoped she’s in luck.
If I went for a walk,
She was right by the door.
Looking at me,
With her leash on the floor.
Oh she was a shedder,
A hair-growing machine.
Our house always needed
A thorough vacuuming.
When it came time for bed,
She would stand at her cage.
She knew the routine,
was as smart as a sage.
Some time a while back,
I read of two men.
Who were speaking of Heaven,
But of course hadn’t been.
One fellow wondered,
Would they barbecue there?
Will they melt down smores?
Could the steaks be grilled rare?
Will they use charcoal briquettes?
Or does propane heat the air?
Would there be a choice of soft drinks
Or is it just water there?
Will the biscuits be golden?
Would they there use some leaven.
They were so filled with queries,
About life then in heaven.
Well one of the questions
I would ask of those two.
Will my Snickers be there?
On my slippers to chew?
Will Heaven be heaven?
If that really ain’t so.
Is it finally the place
Where I’ll want to go?
Is she still as anxious,
To run in the clouds?
Or are things there so different,
With men in white shrouds?
I’ll not forget how it ended.
Then came the conclusion.
Perfection in heaven
Is no foggy illusion.
For as my dog had her favorites,
Chew toys and a chair.
She’ll be as happy as ever
When her master gets there.
That seems now so clear,
That’s settled for me.
I have hope and joy,
As the end now will be.
If when at the gate,
I don’t my little dog see.
I’ll know I’m in heaven,
For my Master will be.

Thinking about his little Snickers
And their possible “future” together.

Life with Snickers
(four short poems in one)
our one-year-old dog
lapping up toilet water -
what a potty mouth
That dog is also into smut;
he likes to sniff poor kitty’s butt.
He hears my slightest movements in the kitchen.
His paws appear at the counter where I’m preparing food.
Later, Snickers comes to me. In his mouth he bears a rope.
He wants to play that silly game I dread.
He stares at me, big brown eyes filled with hope.
Tug of war I play with him. When it’s time for bed,
The cat and I can’t rest till Snickers has laid down his head.

the dog is gagging
in some vomit on the floor. . .
my vanished earring

Hungry? Why wait?
Chocolate won't waste
Might go to your waist
Advertising is genius
Packed with peanuts
Quick way to protein us
Calories are king-sized
Due in part to caramelized
Nonetheless, it satisfies
You're not you, man,
When you're hungry for nougat
Share one (with Ted Nugent?)
Candy-licious, a name it needs
How about a Martian steed?
(Gives a flippant, hidden laugh) Indeed
a chocolate snickers bar
very delicious
with peanuts and caramel
it's such a delight
just to bite into
its greatness
yum

Yum, Chocolate nue gate
Milk chocolate bar peanuts
No laughing, just eat!!

The playful snick, snack snickering.
A small little bite, nibble, lick.
As if there was never bad blood between us.
We giggle, goggle, oggle.
Over boys, celebrities, gossip.
Braiding hair, painting toes, looking at love and woes.
Never letting the impending doom get between us.
The glue of fake nails drying fast now.
And as I look back now,
a tear falls down my cheek,
like that of rain pouring down upon the earth.
And I'd smile like the sun within the clouds.
The playful snick, snack, snickering.
All around me now.
Lost in memories of that of a clown.
