Below is a Haiku that I wrote about Rufus, my dog. Normally writing Haiku poetry is not my thing (all those silly syllables to figure out.), but when Gary the Potter (who writes one of my favorite blogs) started a Pet Haiku Challenge I wanted to partake.So here goes:
Dog contently waits
until the doorbell buzzes
barking will commence.
Write your own if you wish! It's loads of fun.
Here are the instructions per Gary:
1. should be nature themed (but don't worry about that)
2.does not have to rhyme
3. lines: 5 syllables first, 7 syllables second and 5 syllables third line.

I didn't need carpet anyway.
OMG, Mike...LOL. A Haiku done in your own special way.
HAHA! I had a doula client who's first kid is named Rufus. This really makes me giggle.
Absolutely LOVE the picture - that's too cute and goes great with the Haiku.

When I saw that your dog was named Rufus, I had to stop by and comment. That's a cool handle for a dog. I enjoyed your haiku too.
That's a fun idea--I'll check out his blog.
