Oh Dog! Dear DeDe here with Rumpy for a joint post!
Today is the great Haiku Challenge- Snow Edition!
Now, as you know, we love to write poetry, especially haiku. It doesn’t mean we write good haiku, but we don’t let that stop us!
Here are our submissions:
Footprints in the snow. Who dares enter my backyard? A sniff will reveal. Purple morning sky. Snow blankets the countryside. Come Jen, let’s go play!

Alright you guys! It’s YOUR turn!

Woo woo Rumpy, Yours are great!!!! Let’s Haiku challenge!!!

It snowed during the night
Covering the ground ready for a play
Waiting for us jumping on!
I’m not good at writing a good Haiku, but I like thinking of it and writing on!!!

Posted by rumpydog | January 29, 2012, 7:46 AMIf I knew what Haiku was I might give it a bash. 🙂
Posted by granny1947 | January 29, 2012, 2:31 AMIt’s a form of poem. If you check it out on Wikipedia there’s some good info. I write mine in the form of 3 lines- 5/7/5 syllables per line.
Posted by rumpydog | January 29, 2012, 7:47 AMwow rumpy I love your haiku, it is beautiful…
snow falling
kiss the ground

Posted by willofheart | January 29, 2012, 3:53 AMAmazing! Doesn’t writing about snow just sound peaceful and serene?
Posted by rumpydog | January 29, 2012, 7:48 AMNo snow is forecast.
I venture out to the shops.
And slip on the ice.

Posted by gracie may | January 29, 2012, 10:04 AMNo snow yet down here

White clouds in my ears
Icicles from our noses
Can’t wait for the fun
I luvs Maria’s Haiku…
Posted by MissNoodles Murrell | January 29, 2012, 9:08 AMThat’s fantastic MissNoodles! I can’t wait for snow either!
Posted by rumpydog | January 29, 2012, 9:19 AMsoftly falling snow
pine boughs disappear tonight
shimmer in morning
white flakes cover ground
cold wind makes drifts by the fence
good day to stay in
We’re glad we just see
snow in far away mountains!
Love and loud purring
(from all of us)!
Posted by Annabelle Essert (@RainbowCatsx8) | January 29, 2012, 9:29 AMAn amazing collaborative effort! It’s so good to see all of you again!
Posted by rumpydog | January 29, 2012, 5:42 PMI’ve never seen snow where I am. But Paw explained what it is, so here goes…
What is this white cold?
Confusion reigns is not known
Wet paws, shake, lick clean
And this is what Paw imagines my reaction would be to a snowy landscape…
I do not step out
Paws high with feline disdain
Ears cocked, no way!
Posted by Nuala Little Goddess (@NualaSiamese) | January 29, 2012, 10:02 AMI love ’em Nuala and Paw!!!!
Posted by rumpydog | January 29, 2012, 5:41 PMWow! We love your haikus 🙂

Thin body, thin fur.
Where is my bed?

Posted by niasunset | January 29, 2012, 6:52 PMYour dogs are adorable! Is that a kitty tail I see on the right? 🙂
Posted by pearlessence | January 29, 2012, 7:19 PMHi Rumpy!
Great ‘Ku’s’ 🙂 We tend to write horrible ku’s with terrible events.. sort of ironic insights… so you asked for it and here they are…. our apologies….
FROSTY BREATH
frosty breath rising
in the quiet morning air
where are those darn keys?
LUNCH
Sparrows in the snow
flitting all about, Hawk Dives
takes one out, Lunchtime!!!!
IN THE MOONLIGHT
softly falling snow
glistening in the moonlight
I sigh with delight
WINTERY MOONLIGHT
frosty breath at night
snow crunching under my feet
romantic moonlight
WARM HUT
snow is in the air
with the winds howling at night
yet warm is my hut
Okay, terrible and the imagery is naughty…. ironic, and more… but it is all in fun.
In mirth,
The Collies and Chuck 🙂
Posted by colliesofthemeadow | January 29, 2012, 7:48 PMHi Rumpy, I haven’t done much haiku, but here goes… 🙂
Icicle fingers
on skeletons of branches
cardinal alights
Posted by liliessparrowsandgrass | January 29, 2012, 9:49 PMlooked out my window…
snowflakes are falling everywhere…
where do we go now?
Posted by eof737 | January 30, 2012, 12:16 AMto the couch to cuddle with your dog or cat!
Posted by rumpydog | January 30, 2012, 6:22 AMLet us be so wise as to rip, run, roll around and then go eat cookies! Wonderful joy in these haikus. Snowball fight!

Our neurotic wonder dog
Afraid of his dish!
Posted by apronheadlilly | January 30, 2012, 1:54 PMThat strikes me as pretty much a un-improvable doggy perfection in snow haiku, Rumpy!
