Do you know that thoughtful look dogs get as they’re getting ready for some shut-eye? Their eyelids slowly closing bringing them into doggy dreamland? Do you think that your dog is remembering that sweet mystery smell in the grass from earlier in the day? Or maybe they are recounting the pre-dinner belly rub that sent them into leg kicks that rivaled the Rockettes’ Radio City Christmas Spectacular? Could it be that they’re being lulled by the sound of you singing the wrong lyrics once again to some pop song on the radio while washing the dishes?
No, no, and no. They’re actually mentally writing dog haikus!
Here are 5 haiku poems by dogs.
Furry friend by my side
Loyal and loving, always there
Barking with joy and pride

Scenting through the grass
Eager beagle on the hunt
Nose to the ground, intent
Strong and powerful breed
Loyal and loving, misunderstood
Pitbull, a faithful friend

Does your dog happen to write haikus as well? It might just be that your dog is a poet in disguise! Go ahead, give us a haiku of your own in the comments. Remember that haikus happen to be much different than normal poetry as it uses only seventeen syllables. Don’t be shy, share with us!
