Long Pomeranian Poems

The Spaniel

A Spaniel that uses its head 
Can tell when its owner’s unfed 
So instead of a duck

Will deliver a pizza instead
 
The Afghan Hound

The Afghan’s a dog groomer’s...

Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever (Toller)

To “toll” is to dance like a fox
Luring mallards or teals to the rocks

a moving van backs up
the driveway across the street

BEEP!  BEEP!  BEEP!  BEEP!

Love is overrated 
Misunderstood, miscalculated.
It is the morning mist,
A dew rested on the grass.
In the warmth, it ceases to exist.

Chateau Pl

A sleep walk guided by reflections
Although somethings were real
Not the front entry way
Or the stair case
Or the garage for that matter
Scrubbed and alcohol swabbed shoes
Eating off those would've been though
Pee sitting down!
And cologne must...

table,delineating his Christmas list.
His Pomeranian puppy licking his cold,

Hot chocolate ambiances and
wheat toast, zephyrs up his nose.

He is a prodigious  child,with a
temperament, so marvelously mild.

She has proud pointed ears
She loves to jump and run
She is full of life and...
