Premium Member Mr Clown

Mr. J. Clown is incredibly sad,
His Jack Russel Terriers made him mad
They ripped her face off
With nary a cough
She was prettiest doll he’d ever had

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

teriyaki tepee 
telegraphs telescope
temperamental tentacles
teasing testy antelope
televising tempting tempos
torturing terriers who mope
teriyaki tepee
you are the utter dope!

Night Terriers

Once I had a big fright,
It was dark, it was cold, was the middle of the night
Not so bright.

Fur on hand,
Such pungent air I cannot stand,
It’s planned?

Oh look.
Dog had a spook,
Poop.

Once I had a big fright,
It was dark, it was cold, was the middle of the night
Not so bright.

Beneath These Northern Skies

'Write Thirteen Beautiful Lines' Poetry Contest: Sponsored by Constance La France (April/May 2025). 


Where hills are alive
with imagination
carried by clouds
toward their destination
Lakeland fells and sheep
Liverpool of cormorants 
Wales with its dragons
Yorkshire and terrier dogs
in Lancashire towns
of redbrick and cobbled folk
who worked with bare hands
to build a much better world
beneath these beautiful skies.
