Puppy Love (Limerick & Haiku Prompt)
Today’s limerick and haiku theme is dogs. First, my limerick:
Dear Puppy
By Madeleine Begun Kane
Dear puppy, how long will it be
Till you learn where it’s kosher to pee?
They said you were bright,
But there’s no end in sight
To your accidents. Please try a tree.
And now my dogs haiku:
She comes between us,
Foiling our would-be embrace.
Dogged chaperone.
Now, of course, it’s your turn. Your assignment, should you choose to accept it, is to write a limerick or haiku (or both) about dogs. When you’ve posted your verse, please return here and add a direct link to your themed poetry, using Mr. Linky. There’s no rush, by the way, because you have a whole week to post it.
