Gemma's Golden Haiku Collection

...PAGE 2

Gemma's Golden Haiku collection has grown so much,
we needed to age pages!
So here are more haiku and photos for your enjoyment:
Eliot
 How Goldens Have 
Changed My Life Haiku

Loneliness, alone
Gold'n heartbeats fill the hollow
left from the dark night.

Lone whispers take flight
who will listen in the breeze
your brown eyed Golden

-Maggie Jong
Haiku from the Richardson Pack
(Scotty breaking the rules...as usual!)

Becky:

Alone; a dark garage, 
nobody to love
now I am home. I am love.

We Gaze. Our eyes meet.
We love too much
We pray for many tomorrows

Earnie:

Dinner treat! Some broccoli!
it makes me fart
dad will make faces tonight

Peggy Sue:

Bored; I surf the yard
Hark! Look, a treat!
Fondly I recall last night's broccoli

-Scotty Richardson

Becky
Earnie

Peggy Sue
Scotchie's Haiku

What are you eating
I have seen it leave your plate
So now it is mine

Throw, run, throw again
Oh my hums, I have trained you
Well.  Throw it again

Perfect winter day
I just buried my ball in
Snow.  Now find it please

After dinnertime
I put my face next to yours
And belch to say thanks

(This one is dedicated 
to my baby Scotchie...)

My golden angel
Leaping soaring happiness
In my heart always

(and this last one is for Will....)

For all goldens
Mistreated, alone and sad
I pray for your peace

-Jessica & Scotchie
Boston, MA
Elston Farm Haiku, after the CUR
-March 8, 1999

Porter Elston's home
Trusty's forever brother
Two blonds, goofy grins

-Patrice Elston

Tansy's Haiku

Silent snow falling
Warm bed smells of my people
Black cat lies with me.

Garbage truck rumbles
Dog must bark - the very stones 
cry forth the alarm.

-Ann Jackson
 Revelstoke, BC, Canada
 
Dusty's Haiku

I make snow angels
Mum, you have to watch me now
Oh good, you're smiling

The cat eats my food
Oh help me, for I will starve
He's gone, I won't die

-Alix Fuller
Charlie Haiku

Morning ritual
Charlie hears the blowdryer
woobie fetching starts

The bed to myself
here comes Mom, Dad and Lady 
make room for them too

Haiku for Both Girls

Food, food where's the food
It must be dinnertime now
Mom's home time to eat
Lady Haiku

Do I hear something?
There is someone walking by
warn the family

Fetch, what's the purpose?
Charlie always wants to play
I just want to sleep

-Tammi Waugh
More Ripley Haiku

My Master's a nurse.
She takes care of injured bones.
My forever friend.

My Granny's day care
Gives cookies, kisses and rubs
Forever friend 2!

-Jerri Martin
Sunnia's Sugar
Sugar's Haiku

Seagulls rest on beach
I chase; they fly farther out
Waves push me ashore

-Sunnia Lin

Where did all the seagulls go??
(Sugar's not here, but notice Little Lucy Rudd on far right)
Haiku to my Bridgekids, 
Alias, Maisie and Hussy,
...and to all Bridgekids everywhere

I can see you still
There!  A shadow at the door
Turn my head, you're gone

-Mary & Susan Mackle
Great Barrington, MA
Mulligan's Haiku for Will

A feathered tail thumping
Golden prayers - strength of Will
Our Phoenix rising!

-Jennifer Borgesen
 
Grizz's Haiku

I am a boy dog
I like walks with my human
I check my pee-mail

-Lesley Kenyon
Nanoose Bay, BC
Haiku for Wonderful Will

Wanting Will to know
life's not meant to be that way
So many prayers

Shamelessly tortured
surviving hell for three weeks
Will's heart is still GOLD!

Haiku for my Girls:

Reggie

A sound at the door
Find a woobie, Where's my toy
Help - where can one be?

Copper
(as of about a week ago, 
she's become something of a whiner)

I'm bored, can't we play?
Whine, whine, Reggie, play with me
Carrie, make her play!

-Carrie Tennessen
St. Louis. MO
