It’s Haiku Friday again. For the past twenty years or so, it has been my practice to write one haiku every day. Every Friday I share a haiku here, about whatever topic I happen to choose. I invite you to write a haiku on this topic too, and share it with me and the readers of this blog. Just write it in the Comments below. The only rules are: 1) your haiku must be about the named topic; 2) you must follow the 5-7-5 syllable format; 3) no obscenities or hate (I will delete those). That’s it.
At the end of each month I’ll gather up the haikus in the “Haiku Comments” that meet the criteria and pick one at random in a drawing, and send the winner of the drawing one of my e-books: your choice of “Haiku for the Seasons I”, or “Haiku for the Seasons II.”
Today’s topic is “DOGS.” Here is my haiku:
a hairy dog will find you
that’s the way it is

dirty birds teasing
me from their perch in the tree
I’ll bark you away
stand on chair, sniff air
how far must I scoot the chair
to reach the pot roast?
Wake up, 5AM
Jump off bed, scratch Dad’s left arm
Dad is awake now.
happy dog jumping
toenails click on the wood floor
Daddy is home now!
Wake up at 5 sharp
Jump off bed, scratch dad’s left arm
Dad is awake now.
