April, and National Poetry Month, are almost over. My theme this year has been "Dog Days." I'm writing thirty poems about dogs, and I missed a day, so if I'm actually going to pull it off, I have to write two poems tomorrow. Not sure that will happen. Anyway, this week I have been writing poems about dog tails, and dog teeth, today is about a dog's sense of smell. I found two really interesting articles, here, and here. At first I was going to try to embed more facts into the poem, but yesterday's effort was pretty much a disaster, and so I decided to keep it simple tonight
"Splendidly Stinky"
Humans,
according
to
dogs
are
splendidly
stinky.
Ear
wax,
onion
breath,
armpit
juice,
scurf
and
yes
even
private
parts.
All
splendidly
stinky.

And we thought it was the other way around, that our dogs were splendidly stinky!
Keeping it simple, and I imagine truthful, is perfect, Carol. We must amaze them! Happy Writing!
"Splendidly stinky!" LOVE!! The skinny form is like a dog following its nose!
