Flower Power

The thing I like about flowers
Is they stay wide open for hours
Some of them smell
But what the hell
They're subject to canine showers!

The Basset Hound

Is it sorrow in canine disguise?  
Is it pity empathic and wise?
Or is it not either 
Nor sympathy neither
But hunger we see in its eyes?

Premium Member Canine Conundrum

He looks at me
A deepness in his eyes
Questioning
“who’s ball is this?”
“and why do I keep bringing it back?”

Never pull a dog by its ears
  Doing so arouses fears
    that it may bite you very hard ...

  Nah! Trust me
    ~ 'Tis just a canine canard

In the Night

from a distance, eyes --
feline, canine, rodent and
fowl -- on me aflame.
no matter which they are, all --
faceless -- gleam hungry and strange.

I walked my dog down by the junction
When he had a canine malfunction
He jumped on a snake
A bite he did take
And now he has reptile dysfunction.

Cry Key

When Lady Gaga's French bulldogs
Stoked half-a-million squealing hogs
The canine corps
Knocked on her door
With countless tails like pollywogs . . . .

Trying To Teach a Dog Tricks

A fellow got into a
fix
Trying to teach his
dog some new tricks
His canine named
Rover
Refused to roll over
And seemed totally
blind to thrown
sticks

Canine Revenge

Some dog taught me this,
your head sinks and your butt floats.
It’s called cat paddling!


For “Primal Instinct” contest.    And the dog says’ “Oops, My Bad!”

A Line of Dogs


A large group of dogs, alone and free

Saw from the forest a single tree

So they queued up in line

And then every canine

Patiently waited to take a pee.

Shiny Red

Sweet nectarine 
Intoxicatingly serene 

Vibrancy procured 
Greed un-endured 

A canine embrace 
Jaw locked in place

Hallucinating desire 
Simply invokes ire

Premium Member Band of Brothers

Bonded by basic needs, so to speak,
Canine cliques congregate for a leak; 
Not hard to foresee -
Neighbour’s only tree -
Scoop by scoop will turn into s..t’s creek.

Barks of wisdom - Picture prompt

The alpha canine stood under the tree
Such doggy wisdom does not come for free
“If you bury your bone
please remember the zone
Now form an orderly queue while I pee”

Balling Canine

Is that you,
O! Round one,
you slip,
and run,
making it tough,
for my paws,
it there was a way,
to stop you from contant sway,
I would,
and give you deep deep brood.

Endure

Through in folks 
In fold; 
  A wolfs
In skin of sheep
They fool ass
In slip of faults
Fling of bloods
As  canine
And fangs tore, 
 As body as bone
At, toll 
Endure

Canine Cusine

From my last flight, I concluded one thing.

Their in-flight food,  was fit for a King

        Of that, there's no doubt

        So I just hollered out,

Here King - Here King!

After Judicious consideration
the Court ousts chihuahuas without hesitation
With Texas Versus Rover
their dreaming days are over
We'll soon live in a pure Aryan canine nation

Premium Member The Canine Palace

The Canine Palace in downtown Fort Meyers
is where every chic, rich dog retires
The most posh place around
for worn pug or old hound
Ten grand a week is all it requires

If Dog Years Were In Inches 2

love
the distance
between me to you
would be a prehistoric
fossilized canine monstrosity

23,017,782.86
years old but
still wanting
to lick the
salt 

off
your
left 
inner

Premium Member Canine Poet

I sit still before the table,
mute, entirely unable 
to employ the quill and ink. 
I am so sad, I cannot think.
Master said "sit", and I complied. 
Then, he clutched his chest and died.

Premium Member Canine Congregation

The dogs were lined up as everyone could see.
Are you sure this is the best spot to go have a pee?
I just need to take a p***
I'm not so sure about this!
Hey! Check out that other deciduous tree!
