Poem #14- A Few Rooney-ku

Saturday, I understand, is National Haiku Day.  The folks at CaPR asked if anyone wanted to write some dog haiku, and I volunteered my sixth grade friends.  Tomorrow, I'm planning on asking them to picture Rooney in some of his favorite places, or doing some of the things they see him doing, and then create a visual snapshot. I decided if they were going to write haiku, I better try a few also, so I'd have something to get them started. 

Sometimes I enjoy

Digging deep into brown earth,

Find worms and Star's bones

loves to get naked

often grabs velcro strapped vest

strips to birthday suit

when he is nervous

yawns, stretches long and hard, 

assumes down dog pose

does not like ears touched

but that place on his right hip

scratch there forever

Are you feeling sad?

Do you need a caring friend?

I’m sure I can help.

Did I hear a click?

My absolute favorite sound

Love to work for treats.
