Collection Dog Poetry Vol III Book Coming Soon

No poem for today. Just wanted to let you all know that I am working on Collection of Dog Poetry: Poems About Dogs Vol III book. Not sure when it will come out but I am hoping sometime between August and October. This volume will have poems from what a dog would poem about to a two special topics which you will have to wait to find out. Of course it will also have outside with the dog and even more dog random poems. The cover is still in the works and once I get closer or it is published I will show it here. Chelsey, who passed away last year, helped me in writing a lot of the poems out of this collection and the other two published books. It would not have been possible without her and I am glad she helped me in developing a passion for writing poems and books.

Thank you Chelsey, my poetry muse!!

Where To Find Dog Poetry Inspiration

My inspiration of writing has elapse.
My partner, my furry friend now gone.
She gave me ideas of writing;
She let my creativity soar.
Just watching her; her actions
I put into words to write my poems.
Whether my voice or her voice
Poems poured out on paper.
She inspired my writing to new heights;
I self-published books on dog poetry.
Where will I find my dog inspiration
Now that you are gone from this world?

Dog Still Getting Up Stairs

One paw on outside stairs

Another follows up

A quick stop to sniff; lap rain water

A little hobble with the back paws

Front paws again

Left then right; stop to sniff

Back left; back right

Repeat until make it to top

Dog still managing to get up stairs

Just a little slower now

My Backyard Woods

choke the light
making it dark
where they hide
the sneaky masked
animals, raccoons,
who whisper among
themselves of what
food they will
steal at night.

Letter From Walt Whitman

You say I don’t write my poems in the conventional way
Of poets that have gone before me.
That my first work of twelve poems, Leaves of Grass, was in a jumble.
That there was nothing poetic about them
Except each line began with a capital letter.
You saw that there was no rhyming or meter.
My lines varied with wildly uneven length.
I wanted to free my lines from strict verses that had become archaic.
I experimented with the art of writing from the normal way that I saw around me.
I used my line breaks based on the way it would be printed.
You still say it is not poetry at all.
My poems having no pattern in their sights.
But, did you take the time to read them?
Did you ponder what was there at all?
Do you see the energy and individualism that I write my poems?
I wrote about the working classes.
The major events that shaped our time.
I talked about things you dared to talk about in public.
You critics of my time won’t understand the way I write my works of poems.
I hope our future will read and understand what I wrote.

April 28th Prompt: Write a poem in the form of a letter from a famous poet, explaining something everyone has gotten wrong about a poem or some aspect of his or her work.
