The Funeral of Dogs - Dedicated to Roald Amundsen and His 52 Dogs

Just like I refrain from weeping when dancing smoke fills my eyes . . .

I felt deaf from the ‘noise’ of information,
constantly butting, buzzing against my mantra of:
“The quieter you are… the more you… hear!”
At present, my lifestyle felt media manipulated...

A new lap dog

...I've been replaced by a lap dog~at least it's cute,
Its poppy brooch glows bright on its dainty neck.
It yaps and leaps, and like me, its poops pollute,
But could it endure a long and rugged trek?...

both talking neither listening

...my telephone pal and I speak at each other daily
neither of us listens
but we know when to pause
and pretend

I speak of my garden
tomatoes, radishes, carrots, lettuce
she speaks of her grandd...

Moth Man Lament

...Chasing this into that chasing that into this
chasing silhouettes into a half assed crevasse
echoing " boy what is your purpose on this earth earth.

Two wiener dogs and their owners so proud
Approached each other right there on the green.
Then, the hounds commenced at yapping so loud.
But that wasn’t the dangdest thing I’d seen.

Daffodils and Landfills

...
   O, the perfumed scent
     of lilac and daffodil
   You'll never replace the stench
     of the repulsive local landfill

   All hail to New Joisey, the Garden State
     weeds, thorns and...

Voice

...My pup is such a fluffy lump
Cute and sweet and quiet plump.
He chews, he plays, wees on the mat
And tends to annoy the kitty cat.

He yaps and yaps growls and yaps
And likes to sleep on my lap...

An Australian Pug

...An Australian pug so loves prawn
she could munch it from evening ‘till dawn
It’s called shrimp, silly Aussie
yaps a Yank borzoi quite bossy
But being good mates, their anger’s long gone...

Paws On the Avenue

...Paws on the Avenue

Every afternoon ‘bout half past four
Paddy and I go out the door
No straying from our daily ritual.

Paws on Fido Avenue
Happy tails of sloppy kisses unmuzzled
Parade of c...

Fuzzy Face

...Awakening and lying on my chest
  as the fuzzy face with his morning kiss
His tail a wagging and a soft growl
  happy to see his daddy smile
He jumps down to the floor
  waiting for me to open t...

Jealous Jumping Jaguars

Bending ballistic beyond belief barbells
Crushing curious crimson crucial crocodiles
Delighting dark dank daring darling dwarfs
Enormously elongated elves e...

...Genghis is my little me me dog
for attention he is a little hog
Wanting to be first through the door
he knocks down Kublai to the floor
Always growling and yapping to get his way
even steals Kub...

Covid Blues

...They haven’t come for many weeks
the men who mow my grass
at level 4 in lock-down too
they haven’t had the chance
to venture out,
the price too high,
their bubble they can’t break
but honestly...

...My little black dog is turning gray
with white hairs sprouting in spots
He still likes to play and rushes the fray
