______________________________
My bark, sharp and fierce
Trying to protect you from
The FedEx driver
______________________________
For you I’ll create
Artistic works of poo, since
You save them in bags
______________________________
Swallowed by regret
For I forgot to smell the
Third bush on the left
______________________________
Your breath intrigues me
And I am fairly certain
You had ribs for lunch
______________________________
Apologies, but
How could I have known that was
Your cheesy sandwich?
______________________________
Puddled on the floor
A symbol of excitement
You’ve come to visit
______________________________
Crestfallen, for my
Nose cannot fit more deeply
Inside your slip-on
______________________________
But I thought I heard
You say you didn’t want that
Folder of receipts
______________________________
You say the leash word
And I’m no longer obsessed
With sniffing cat butt
______________________________
Just when you thought I
Could not sleep closer to you
You were wrong again
______________________________
Some bonus dog haiku . . .
Love my master;
Thus I perfume myself with
This long-rotten mouse.
I lie belly-up
In the sunshine, happier than
You ever will be
Today I sniffed
Many dog behinds—I celebrate
By kissing your face.
My human is home!
I am so ecstatic I have
Made a puddle
Look in my eyes and
Deny it. No human could
Love you as much I do
