Rottweiler Poems

Just not your year

Life is full of surprises,
as you recognize your fear.
An adrenaline fueled 
fight or flight puts 
your behind in gear.

You’d like to think
That you are brave.
You have no problem
facing fear.
But you have a funny feeling
When it comes to...Read More

I hate parking in supermarket car parks,
with scrapes and dents, or scratches common place.
They’re a request to join demolition derby, 
and some of the parking is a damn disgrace.

To find a parking space at times is like gold,
and even when...Read More

Love at first
That's how I felt
Like a rottweiler
Wagging its tail
And my crush
Disappeared in a flush
From that sec
I knew it was she
First time we met
A woman I'd wed someday...Read More

'Whiskers'! That's who we called him and he passed through once a year
with his swag and billy; this time with a 'heeler' dog close near.
Our 'oldies' always said when 'Whiskers' camped beside the creek,
to keep away from that old man...Read More

to say that rumor has it
is to say that the World Trade Center
collapsed silently and cleanly like 
oppositely sexed Siamese twins
who discovered they could mate
I had all channels going full bore
aiming at involuntary insemination
with the aid of a two-handled clam...Read More

A Giant

There is an unknown legend that comes
 from the great Black  Forest 
 of a creature fearsome and oh, so glorious.

Though his brain be small 
 and barely larger than a walnut
 his head and jaws are held...Read More

Bitter words spew out of your well-polished poison pen
Insult me, go on belittle me with your vile vitriolic venom
Think you are better than me – hell no way!
Every word that spills from your pathetic pen sucks

My one poem to your...Read More

Her nickname "'sunshine" where she worked, 
She's always smiling, some confide.
She has a certain lilting perk 
Of hidden beauty deep inside. 

Her journey home was twenty miles 
Of mostly dark, forbidding streets, 
Of tenements and garbage piles 
And people none...Read More

I arrive at my job site 1-1 1/2 hours early 
every work day as a rule generally. 
I relax on a public bench with my container of coffee
while I psych myself to prepare for the day's hard work ahead of...Read More

Consider me in the manifestation
Of Escaped Kite falls in love with Telephone Lines
And does't hesitate to feel the Rottweiler shock collar electrocutions
Before the thought:
"I am closer to Heaven then I was before"...Read More

It was an early September storm,
Jackson the Pug, didn't have a thing to do
so he found an old comic book
about a Super Hero who wore a cape,

He climbed up into his favorite easy chair
and began to read,
or should I say,
look...Read More

OK another adventure in the mad poet’s life,
This occurred just before I met Jane, my imaginary wife.
Jane’s brother, Glen had set me up with a blind date
He said the girl was a stunner, I could not wait

So dressed in me...Read More

The neighbours went off on their yearly vacation,
Off to visit some foreign nation.
Leaving me keys and a list a mile long, 
To watch their pets. What could go wrong?

The rottweiler is a gentle soul
As long as there's always food in...Read More

You want to know about it
The bad memories, the pain
Ok just wait for a bit
Ill have to jig it out my brain

It happened in the middle of May
Glen my friend was off to Spain
I remember it was a sunny day
A...Read More

My friend Meg was leaving for a week-long vacation
And struggling hard to provide for her congregation:
With a horse, two dogs, one cat and a bird
You might as well say she had a whole herd

I arrived just hours after Meg made...Read More

Though the time has come 
To say good bye
The bond we share
Will never die.

You were my friend
Yet so much more
You walked on two
I ran on four.

You touched my heart
And made me feel
A simple love
I knew was real.

You blessed my life
With...Read More

Roxy as the loudest rottweiler in Waterbury, an historic town in Connecticut,
Roxy was a vigilante dog, which never let a stranger or a burglar in;
once this ranch home was a haven, thanks for the love she had shown!
While I was...Read More

                    With peering eyes and wanting heart
              ...Read More

I was walking through a wood, trees to the right-hand side of me on a slope -
upwards; rocks to the left-hand side of me, sloping down towards a lake.  As I 
walked along, I realized that I had three...Read More

Its the color of angry peoples' souls,
And also bottomless holes

Midnight skies and lots of dirty lies,
Its the color of madness
Dark, plain, and nothing but rage
Exploding from it's human cage.

You see this color when you shut your eyes
Maybe just for a...Read More
