squirrel dressed up like the count is mighty fine.
She runs door to door, loving it when she is next in line.
Candy comes in so many flavors, snickers is her fave.
She picks out all of the nuts, which make her happily rave
A young girl who lost her knickers
Grew tired of hearing the snickers
"Well, urine luck!"
Cried Donald, "Duck!
I have Hello Kitty stickers!"
Lavish mealtimes, Snicks would evade
She grew weak though paws jumped around
Clinging tighter, sweeter than dachsund licks;
Then... on fateful one noon, she simply heaved her last
Wink of dachshund eyes locked upon mine ,
The rain tears tapping, d r i f t i n g on my bosom --
Reveries of us brought raw pain, immeasurable joy
You, not a heartbeat far from my soul
That I rocked you where our herbal bush rested. Ever.

Snickers
Yum, Chocolate nue gate
Milk chocolate bar peanuts
No laughing, just eat!!

by James Edward Lee Sr.
Barking at the people who
walk behind our house
is a dog that as a pup
was bought by my spouse.
Tiny border collie mix
he was meant to be,
but a Texas cow dog is
what most people see!
Chocolate-caramel, nutty too,
so it seems just right
he’s named for a candy bar;
just don’t take a bite!
Word Count shows 62 but different at another one. I count 60.

Hungry? Why wait?
Chocolate won't waste
Might go to your waist
Advertising is genius
Packed with peanuts
Quick way to protein us
Calories are king-sized
Due in part to caramelized
Nonetheless, it satisfies
You're not you, man,
When you're hungry for nougat
Share one (with Ted Nugent?)
Candy-licious, a name it needs
How about a Martian steed?
(Gives a flippant, hidden laugh) Indeed

Life with Snickers
(four short poems in one)
our one-year-old dog
lapping up toilet water -
what a potty mouth
That dog is also into smut;
he likes to sniff poor kitty’s butt.
He hears my slightest movements in the kitchen.
His paws appear at the counter where I’m preparing food.
Later, Snickers comes to me. In his mouth he bears a rope.
He wants to play that silly game I dread.
He stares at me, big brown eyes filled with hope.
Tug of war I play with him. When it’s time for bed,
The cat and I can’t rest till Snickers has laid down his head.
Written 11/4/15 for the "A Poet's Dozen" Poetry Contest of the Silent One
the dog is gagging
in some vomit on the floor. . .
my vanished earring
(well, it's kind of about nature; a very natural thing for dogs. haha!)
For PD's (Make Me Chuckle with a haiku) Haiku #1 (or senryu)
Off his leash, he escapes,
diving under a chair.
Through each room of our house,
he darts here; he darts there.
Little scamp can’t be caught.
He careens crazily.
For his collar I reach,
but he dashes from me.
To his food dish he goes,
Ah! My time has now come.
He is back on the leash
and unable to run.
I know our puppy will calm down in time.
We find his toys and bones he likes to bite.
We gently rub his tummy as he lies
beside us with the coming of the night.
Lullaby, Doggie.
Lay down your head.
Sweet dreams for our Snickers
asleep on our bed.

Rhythm Poems
The playful snick, snack snickering.
A small little bite, nibble, lick.
As if there was never bad blood between us.
We giggle, goggle, oggle.
Over boys, celebrities, gossip.
Braiding hair, painting toes, looking at love and woes.
Never letting the impending doom get between us.
The glue of fake nails drying fast now.
And as I look back now,
a tear falls down my cheek,
like that of rain pouring down upon the earth.
And I'd smile like the sun within the clouds.
The playful snick, snack, snickering.
All around me now.
Lost in memories of that of a clown.

a chocolate snickers bar
very delicious
with peanuts and caramel
it's such a delight
just to bite into
its greatness
yum
