Premium Member Barking Dog

A barking dog never bites
yeah, right, just try telling that to the neighbors German Shepherd!!


Nature Talk

Trees speak in whispers,
words dance within leaves, rustling.
Roots deep hold secrets
whilst barks break in memory.
Birds answer a question, lost.

The Basenji

Airedale, king of the terriers 
Domain without borders or barriers 
Stubborn and proud
On alert, never cowed
Justly known for their cute little derrières

Benji the Dog Loves To Bark

Benji the dog loves to bark
As a small white dog giving it all his heart
To each one he sees walking past
At his front door for lots of laughs.

Premium Member At The Bark

 when the dogs went to the park
 an urge to pee was sparked
 So they lined up at a tree
 There was no fire hydrant you see
 And each took a turn at the 'bark'

Bark

You don't miss me
and the forest is dark
you don't miss me
and the night has no stars
you don't miss me
and I can hear the bark
you don't miss me
and that broke my heart.

Eulogy in B

he had a life
within the life of ours
an imprint on eternity
his cuddles come
from angels now
or he’ll bark at them
relentlessly

Premium Member the yipping dog bark

I hear a barking dog in the distance tonight
Not a desperate bark or a warning bark
One of those weird I-am-bored-with-life-barks
Neither of my own dogs respond
They also have no use for small constant yipping dogs

Poet POTD

I'm a flower tickler
with a flower tickler's thumb
like my dog before me
although he's more of a philanthropist
than a poet, but, like him, I too bark
my greenery of colours when needed
and tickle flowers

Premium Member Bark Or Paper

Not so delicate Scratchy surface of wood bark Unlike plain paper What we have to write We put on the smooth surface Of paper not bark Very glamorous Bark of a lovely birch tree Best over paper

Premium Member No Salesman Please

A cunning  man from Cork,
Did train his wife to bark,
When salesman tried to knock,
wife set upon them with a bark,
Drove them far away from Cork!!!

Premium Member Eating Chocolate In the Dark Taste Better Than Tree Bark-

I want chocolate in the dark,
 but when the sun goes down in, 

 the moon lights up Shreveport. Now I chew on tree bark; 
The Taste is blah!! It hurts my teeth. Now I suck on Maple Leaves;

Premium Member The Birtch Bark Trees

The three birch trees
Stand high on a hill
Each one had a trim
Their top parts removed
As the time went by
Slowly the limbs grew


They began to sprout
Branches and green leaves
Now its Autumn
Their leaves have turned brown
Hanging to the branches
Ready to fall

Tree Bark Poem

I like tree bark
Like to climb up it
With shoes with metal spikes
And cuffs with sharp hooks

I see a bird's nest
With eggs that are blue
I count five or six
It's a robin's kin

If I fall down hard
From this mighty height
I will crush a limb
I will hold on tight

Birch Bark

Birkenrinde / Birch Bark / Corteza de abedul   (Haiku)

Die Birkenrinde
Wie hell sie so schön erstrahlt
Im hellen Lichtschein


The bark of birches
Shines so beautifully bright
In clear sunlight 


Corteza de abedules
Tan maravillosamente brilla
En clara luz del sol

Before Winters Bark

Sept morn before the dawn
trees sleep, the dew weeps
autumn’s chill, really no thrill
leaves floating, grounds coating

anticipation resting, yet temps testing
winter’s voice, will have its choice
time on the wheel, still left to feel
warm days savored, fall still flavored

Premium Member The Dog in The Fog

There was a young dog
he got lost in a fog

He couldn't get home 
all night he continued to roam

When the fog cleared 
there were things that he feared

He started to bark
he was scared of the dark

Now he's back home and having some fun
he and his owner just back from a run

Premium Member Mr Angry Bark

Mr. Angry Bark, your eyes terrify us.
Your mouth so distorted, your ambiance scary.
You are rough and harsh; I steer away from you always.
Glooming the corner of the yard where you stand frowning.
You frighten us with your beady dark irritated eyes.
Lunch tomorrow? I don’t see why not.
I will bring a picnic.

FOREST QUEEN

As ash the oak remembers the kiss of the flame.
Fallen branches remember the wind’s caress.
The bark is armor hardened by time.
Her leaves hum lullabies for the sun.
Beneath her boughs, the breeze begins to breathe.
She stands. She waits. She grows. She knows.

The Bark of the Birch

The bark of the birch - it’s curled for peeling
as the whippoorwill commands the block.
I fill my lungs with the pine-riddled air,
discounting the call of the clock.
A trickle of water escapes the hose,
a new pepper has sprouted - no, a pair!
Pleased with the snips of roses I chose,
apart from a vase, I haven’t a care.

White Bark Pine

the white bark pine
bends windwards
the west wind
roars in from the west
mercilessly flogging
flurries of snow
the white bark pine
turns away
and doesn’t want to know
it does not have to swivel
and twist through human debris
it just must ride the winter
arthritic as it is
and show up living white
in next year’s summer sun
without articulation
of twisted pain

Premium Member Haunted Lighthouse

The night was very dark, the rough seas gave out a bark. Would our small boat the Ark, make it in these tall waves or stay in park? Then we spotted the light, it was small and not bright. Just a blink of white, then out of site. We finally got docked, were told the lighthouse could not be unlocked. It was haunted many would say, we know the truth about that day.

Immortality of Bark

As I am here surrounded by the Numbness
of tree trunks -  still and nameless in the breeze -
A Willow weeping  crystals of uncertain
Bombarding a century that does not belong to me
 
But I AM here surrounded by the people
who blindly thrust my chest  and leave the broken thorns
and no one cares when mutilating names of lovers
How hurtful is when carving in immortality  of bark...

LIONS DON'T BARK

Lions don't barks
They roar
Always active and focus
Ready to take action at any time
They set eyes on a prey or an attacker.

Lions don't relent
They go furiously and fearlessly 
After what they want or need
No matter the recklessness.

In the game of life 
Be the lion
Pursue your dreams relentlessly 
Go after all you want or need 
Slowly and steady without hesitation 
If you're afraid of failure 
You won't begin.
