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!
Posted by minlit | May 11, 2012, 1:44 AMThat’s awesome! Let’s go laugh!

Posted by rumpydog | May 11, 2012, 5:11 AMYours are always fantastic, Rumpy!!!
Well…mine are not so good but I’ll try!

Do not hesitate to take us in
We make your life fun!

Posted by marina kanavaki | May 11, 2012, 2:59 AMYummy! Yummy!
Posted by rumpydog | May 11, 2012, 5:10 AMI’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. :D
Posted by tita buds | May 11, 2012, 3:42 AMI’m sorry you’re sick! I hope your poem made you feel better- it made me smile!
Posted by rumpydog | May 11, 2012, 5:09 AMThanks, 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. :)
Posted by tita buds | May 11, 2012, 5:34 AMYay!!! 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

Posted by Old Kitty | May 11, 2012, 4:02 AMI’ll be right over and I’ll bring my ball!
Posted by rumpydog | May 11, 2012, 5:08 AMAustin 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 :)
Posted by CATachresis | May 11, 2012, 4:05 AMWoo woo woo! Excellent!
Posted by rumpydog | May 11, 2012, 5:07 AMWell, 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!!
Posted by Genevieve Petrillo | May 11, 2012, 5:29 AMImprovization…. my favorite kind of poem AND park experience!
Posted by rumpydog | May 11, 2012, 8:21 AMYay, 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,
Posted by Nuala Little Goddess (@NualaSiamese) | May 11, 2012, 6:04 AMFantastic!!
Posted by rumpydog | May 11, 2012, 8:22 AMOk, 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.
Posted by Doggy's Style | May 11, 2012, 8:44 AMHere’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.
Posted by Father Tom | May 11, 2012, 8:56 AMI like cookies too
But someone munched them all.
Was it you, Rumpy? :-)

Posted by rumpydog | May 11, 2012, 10:25 AMSpring 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…
Posted by Tiffany (lifewithblondie) | May 11, 2012, 10:16 AMWe have the same problem with a feral
Posted by rumpydog | May 11, 2012, 10:40 AMA 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

Posted by Geraldine | May 11, 2012, 11:52 AMI 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
Posted by Savannah's Paw Tracks | May 11, 2012, 11:54 AMI don’t do Haiku
but today I will try to
freely let words flow… Not sure about this, Rumpy. I will have to learn. (:
Posted by Roberta | May 11, 2012, 1:14 PMI love the cookie one!
Posted by originalapplejunkie | May 11, 2012, 1:22 PMRumpy we love your Haikus! You are so talented! Here is ours:
Standard Poodles love
humans to give us many many
treats, kibble and toys.

Posted by Paws To Talk | May 11, 2012, 1:33 PMHi 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
Posted by onespoiledcat | May 11, 2012, 1:49 PMAs 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!
Posted by granbee | May 11, 2012, 2:25 PMOh 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.
Posted by Bongo | May 11, 2012, 3:19 PMblack 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!

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

Posted by Worldly Winds | May 12, 2012, 12:41 PMTalent galore, mom has to think and perhaps she can come up with one!
Posted by Urban Hounds | May 12, 2012, 4:01 PMHey 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!
Posted by heyitsjethere | May 12, 2012, 5:36 PMWe will need to take some lessons as we are NOT good at poetry! Happy Mother’s Day to your mama Rumpy!

Posted by Ellie and Edmond | May 13, 2012, 2:09 PMRumpy, 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!
Posted by Katerina's Pack | May 13, 2012, 5:16 PMBravo Rumpy! Hemingway says he doesn’t write but sends his regards.

Gray cat slumbers in east bed
Quiet here. For now.
Posted by nadbugs | May 14, 2012, 1:34 PMThose 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!
