It’s Another Poetry Challenge!
Oh Dog! It’s time for our latest Poetry Challenge! I’m so excited!
.
.
I’ve been working really hard on my haiku, so I hope you like them!
.
Spring has sprung, bringing
The miracle of new life.
And lots of sneezes!
.
And because I just HAD to write about my favorite thing-
.
I want a cookie.
Why won’t you just give me one?
Let’s live in the now!
.
One more, and because I want to give equal exposure to kitties-
.
June Buggie’s evil!
Why don’t people believe me?
Cats have all the luck!
.
OK you guys! It’s YOUR TURN!

Here’s a Spring haiku I wrote a couple of years ago:
Spring is for laughter
…..and I long to hear you laugh
Let us not waste time!
May 11, 2012 at 5:12 AM
That’s awesome! Let’s go laugh!

A window, open
to a million spring times
whispering my name…

I love Rumpy and,
June and Dede and Jenny
They are my dear Friends…
*
The sun be with you
Angels keep you all in safe
Blessing to you all….

Thank you,
Have a nice day and HAPPY MOTHER’ s Day,
with my love, nia

Yours are always fantastic, Rumpy!!!
Well…mine are not so good but I’ll try!
Spring has just come here
It brings comfy breeze and green plants
Let’s get out for sniffing
If you like us, Cat and Dog
Do not hesitate to take us in
We make your life fun!
Have a good friday, dear Rumpy!!!
May 11, 2012 at 5:10 AM
Yay! Love it! Let’s go sniffing!
May 11, 2012 at 2:59 AM
Great poetry Rumpy!

Rumpy
Eat
Nice
Cookie
Happy
Very!
May 11, 2012 at 5:10 AM
Yummy! Yummy!

I’m down with the flu
My nose I just blew
But I’m reading Rumpy
My own dogs beside me
So tho my brain’s a bit addled
And I can’t really be cuddled
I get comfort in my animal friends
And that’s how this awful poem ends.
May 11, 2012 at 5:09 AM
I’m sorry you’re sick! I hope your poem made you feel better- it made me smile!
May 11, 2012 at 5:34 AM
Thanks, Rumps, my first attempt, haha. Told you my mind is making me do things I’ve never done before.
Not better but not worse either. That’s a good thing, I guess.
May 11, 2012 at 4:02 AM
Yay!!! Loved your haikus Rumpy!!
Here’s mine and Charlie’s!
Sun behind the clouds
Please come out to play with us
Banish rain and cold!
Take care

I’ll be right over and I’ll bring my ball!
May 11, 2012 at 4:05 AM
Austin and I laugh
At your antics Rumpy Dog.
You’re a cookie fiend!
Though you’re just a dog
We can forgive you for this
You have a big heart
May 11, 2012 at 5:07 AM
Woo woo woo! Excellent!
May 11, 2012 at 5:29 AM
Well, Rumpy, my Haiku about the park turned into a Dog-ku when Cupcake decided to help. You can probably tell where she chimed in…
The park has a pond,
Clover, flowers, birds, and grass….
And someone spilled cheese popcorn and ants crawled on it and I ate a piece and swallowed it – ants and all – before Mom could fish it out of my mouth. Yum. I love the park!!
May 11, 2012 at 8:21 AM
Improvization…. my favorite kind of poem AND park experience!
May 11, 2012 at 6:04 AM
Yay, Haiku time! *chews on pencil*
Autumn is now here
search for a spot in the sun
And at night cuddle
South African weather is upside down to yours,
And another one
Birds chirping, eating
Seeds rain gently from the tray
Carus is watching,
May 11, 2012 at 8:22 AM
Fantastic!!
May 11, 2012 at 8:44 AM
Ok, call this pop-poetry, you know, pop style.
It can be a dead fish a rock or a buoy
As long as it’s at Doggy’s reach
Immediately becomes a toy.
Well, I forgot my homework and this was last minute.
May 11, 2012 at 8:56 AM
Here’s one from us, Rumpy:
A new spring
No chipmunks?
Where did they go?
We now have bluejays
Feathers the color of the sky
No stripes.
May 11, 2012 at 9:38 AM
I like cookies too
But someone munched them all.
Was it you, Rumpy?
May 11, 2012 at 10:25 AM
*mumble mumble mumble*
May 11, 2012 at 10:16 AM
Spring brings new kittens
Hurry down to see the vet
They aren’t cute for long
Inspired by the fact that my rescued kitty cat is on her way to be spayed next week! Now that she’s weened her kittens…
May 11, 2012 at 10:40 AM
We have the same problem with a feral
May 11, 2012 at 11:52 AM
A Mr. Cheddar haiku:
Doggies can be fun.
But Rumpydog, let’s face it.
It’s felines that rule!
I just know your felines are going to approve of this poem !!!
Happy Weekend, G and the Cheddar Poet

I sleep on the stair
With sun puddles so many
Mom walks around me
So I had Mom look up Haiku on eHow…and I gave it my best paw…my subject taken from my blog post for today. I have another new fave nap place…gettin’ braver and more confident…paw pump
May 11, 2012 at 1:14 PM
I don’t do Haiku
but today I will try to
freely let words flow… Not sure about this, Rumpy. I will have to learn. (:
May 11, 2012 at 1:22 PM
I love the cookie one!
May 11, 2012 at 1:33 PM
Rumpy we love your Haikus! You are so talented! Here is ours:
Standard Poodles love
humans to give us many many
treats, kibble and toys.

Hi Rumpy! Your haiku are super swell…..here’s my “ode to Mom”:
Mother’s Day is here
She deserves to have a hug
And a head bump too!
(tee hee………..)
Kitty Hugs, Sammy
May 11, 2012 at 2:25 PM
As promised, Rumpy, here is my first haiku I have attempted in many decades:
Let us frolic now
for spring will soon melt away
leaving us pant-less.
(Hey, that was a lot more fun than I thought!)
Gotta luv ya, Rumpy!
May 11, 2012 at 3:19 PM
Oh yeah, it’s poetry day isn’t it?
Lounging and lazy
I’m supposed to write a poem
Maybe tomorrow
Actually Rumpy, you inspired me to put a poem on my own blog. Here’s the link: http://bongodogblog.com/2012/05/10/yucca-yellow-flowers/
PS. I loved your poem about June Buggie.
May 11, 2012 at 5:46 PM
black buttons shiny
red raincoat early morning
dew glints on green leaf
early spring rains come
apple blossoms everywhere
soft white snow drifts down
Yours are all excellent, Rumpy! You and your cookies are so funny, but you’re right about where to live! And, of course, we MUST speak up for June Buggie. Maybe he’s not nice to you, but, just between us cats, he’s our pal and we love him!

@JustAnotherTrend
DUSTY: Here’s our Haiku, Rumpy. We love your blog!
HURLEY: I bet you can tell what line “I” wrote.
Mother’s Day Weekend
Hope she gets special goodies
And drops crumbs for me
May 11, 2012 at 9:50 PM
The breeze in the trees
things happening out of sight
scent of Rumpy Dog.
May 12, 2012 at 6:01 AM
A cookie haiku…I love it!!!
May 12, 2012 at 9:37 AM
The cookie poem is especially good Rumpy
May 12, 2012 at 10:08 AM
You are so talented Rumpy!!
May 12, 2012 at 12:41 PM
Springtime brings rainbows
cherry blossom scents the air
dogs frolic in the park
May 12, 2012 at 4:01 PM
Talent galore, mom has to think and perhaps she can come up with one!
May 12, 2012 at 5:36 PM
Hey Rumpy, Jet here.
As I shared with Bongo, I think you’ve attended poetry classes @ Scooby Doo Academy on the down low. What a talented K9!
May 12, 2012 at 10:32 PM
We will need to take some lessons as we are NOT good at poetry! Happy Mother’s Day to your mama Rumpy!

Broken heart wet tears
Comfort from a soulful paw
Soft muzzle sweet kiss
May 13, 2012 at 11:03 AM
Head on paws
Bored sigh cry & whine
Please come home
May 13, 2012 at 11:04 AM
Joyful tail wags
The red ball soars through the air
Run swiftly with glee
May 13, 2012 at 1:02 PM
I love your haiku!!!! Thanks for sharing them.
May 13, 2012 at 2:09 PM
Love the poems! So much fun
!
May 13, 2012 at 5:16 PM
Rumpy, you´re really a talented dog. We´re a bunch of wild and crazy sled dogs, so all we could come up with is:
The spring is here
the snow is gone
it´s time for other
kind of fun
not as good and poetic as yours. But what would you expect from gang like us
Have a happy day!
May 13, 2012 at 6:09 PM
Bravo Rumpy! Hemingway says he doesn’t write but sends his regards.

White cat sleeps on sill
Gray cat slumbers in east bed
Quiet here. For now.

Those were great, Rumpy!!! You are a very good poet (and we hope you know it)! We have sneezing going on here so we really appreciate that one! And the fab Five loved your cookie haiku! They are all for cookies and living in the now!
