Totally Optional Prompt posts: It hasn't been a 'three dog night' around here for a long time, like since the last ice age, none the less the prompt this week is 'Three Dogs'. The challenge is to write three short poems about dogs, or the animal of your choice. They can be about three dogs, or three aspects of one dog, or the animal of your choice.
I don't have animals so these briefs are about peripherals. :) Wasn't easy for me!
German Shepherds
saber rattles
at interlopers
shares nap time
with cuddly toys
growls large at cat
sees soaring hawk shadow
ducks under deck
collared leash restraint
no diving into pristine
inground people's pool
This photo was created on the Office Max elf website which runs around Christmas time.

OLYMPIC DREAMS, on THE MANE POINT
I had a German Shepherd - this is him to a tee!
nice haikus.
a dog in an elf suit, cute!
Lovely as usual. Good stuff.
nicely minimal, economical.
"shares nap time
with cuddly toys"
awww!
yes you seem to have hit on the multiple facets of a dogs personality here. evocative.
meanie.. let the dog swim in the pool!!!! (s)he will love you for it!!!!
for having no dogs you've caught their personalities!!!... and that photo, oh goodness, it's almost scary...
My big rottwieller cross loves cuddly toys. Two years ago, my daughter in law cleaned out her bedroom in preparation for moving. She ended up with a big black garbage bag full of soft toys and she gave them to my Tom for Christmas. We dole them out to him, one at a time every month or so and he loves them. The bag is in the garden shed and is still half full!
Anywho, I wrote three poems for this prompt:
Dogs of War, Two Pets and My Dog Tom
-Bev
Loved that picture. And you've got the German Shepherd perfect.
