My Mind Meanders (a Tanka)

I’ve done lots of meandering today and now I need to have a doggie nap

My Mind Meanders (a Tanka)

On our morning trail

Where beginnings never end

Imagination

Meanders around each bend

Conscious of nature’s haven

Frankie’s guarding our table

And his carrot cake

My Dog Has a Full Tank (a Tanka)

Frankie in hiding under the table … he knew he was naughty!

My Dog Has a Full Tank (a Tanka)

While I was away

My dog got up to mischief

Up on the table

A bag of smacko’s was gone

“Gutz”, had eaten all his treats

Walkie (a Haiku)

Walkie (a Haiku)

To explore his patch

He happily trots away

He then prances back

Holes In Doors

Holes In Doors

My owner left me

Locked up in the courtyard

Nothing unusual about that

He left me some biscuit treats

And a full bowl of water

However, he forgot

To close the wire security screen

Well, best I break in

And protect our kennel

“What would you have done?”

I started clawing and chewing

At the exposed wood door

Firstly, I dug a small hole

An opening I could bite

My industrious teeth into

Whoops and drats!

There was another layer

On the inside too!

I wasn’t sure why

My boss told me off

When he arrived home

I thought I was only trying to help

He didn’t appreciate my creativity

Time passed and Christmas arrived

My extended family

Were joking and laughing

At my aunt’s gift for Dad

Woof, woof. “A Doggie Door for me!”

Follow The Leader (a Tanka)

Follow The Leader (a Tanka)

Spring grass is greener

The stems and stalks are taller

Nature’s endless gifts

Natural healthy fibre

My Doggies joyful pasture

Frankie

Frankie has been with me for 9 months now, and he’ll be 6 in July and I’ll be 71 in July …

Frankie

Frankie is my doggie

Supposedly a champagne colour

But more like a dirty off-white

woolly picnic blanket

Friendly by nature

On hind legs he prances

Then promptly hit sits

Holds out his soft curly paw

He has the Cafe waitresses

Melt at his doggie command

Frankie knows how to score

Treats galore come his way

He is a happy winner everyday

Ivor Steven (c) April 2022
