Dogs Poems
Wolf Lite
by Scott Biggerstaff
My dog slops water
with urgent abandon
like a prize pig from teeming troughs
The prosody of his play is

Tale of a Dog
by John Godfrey Saxe
'Curse on all curs!' I heard a cynic cry;
A wider malediction than he thought-
For what's a cynic?- Had he cast his eye
Within his dictionary, he had caught
This much of learning- the untutored elf-
That he, unwittingly, had cursed himself!

'Beware of dogs,' the great Apostle writes;
A rather brief and sharp philippic sent
To the Philippinas. The paragraph invites

All Good Doggies Go To Heaven
by Jeffrey Pipes Guice
She joined our family sixteen years ago...
When she was just a pup...
We could barely await her arrival...

by Jeffrey Pipes Guice

A farm dog’s life
is full of highs...
When the butterfly
lands squarely on his nose...
From a cloud up above
the clear blue skies...
Nature is

Questions I Ask Myself
by Jeffrey Pipes Guice
Will the sun always shine...
Even on a rainy day...
Will there always be sunlight...
So the kids come out to play...
Will the birds always sing...
So their music fills the air...
Will you always love me...
Will you always care...
