The uber busy Laura Salas, aka laurasalas is battling the elements and off on a round of school visits. (Lucky schools.) She asked if I would like to host 15 words or less photopoetry this week and I said sure! This is no pressure, lots of fun. If you’re not familiar with it, you can read the guidelines here.
Basically look at the picture and write a poem of 15 words or less inspired by the photo. Please add your byline to the poem so I can include it in the poetry Friday roundup.
Here’s this week’s picture.
What does this make you think of? A dog fight waiting to happen? Making friends? Staying as far away as possible? Your allergies?
If you’d like to play, just choose any topic this image makes come to your mind and write a quick 15 Words or Less poem. Your poem doesn’t have to describe this photo. The picture is just a jumping-off point. If you’ve never played before, check out the guidelines in the sidebar. Leave your poem in a comment and I’ll include it in my post of poems tomorrow. Have fun with it!
PEANUT BUTTER
by C Federoff
Stuck.
To my nose.
To my lips.
To the roof of my mouth.
Peanut Butter.

Nose to nose

Winnie the poohi
A circle of three,
Air, earth and sea;
Strength, justice and spirit
Love, hope and dreams..
The holy trinity
Re: Winnie the poohi
Beautiful. It rolls so nicely off the tongue.
Synchronizing smells
Meeting of minds
Evolving telepathy
Life in community
We can all get along
Oh Vicki! So happy to see you here. Thank you for playing along.
I love the line “evolving telepathy” a lot.

We’ll always be
Friends times three,
You, her, me.

A

absence
Introductions are needed

is facing
the wrong
Way
Re: Old Friends Meet
Yep, you nailed it. What’s wrong with this picture. 🙂
Staring contest
You’re right in front of me
Gazing, contemplating, scrutinizing
But you can’t really see me
Re: Staring contest
What a nice surprise to see you here!
Love the last line…how true it is all too often.
This photo made me smile!
A SHORT TAIL by Kelly Polark
Barking stories.
Territories.
Dogs are staring.
Nostrils flaring.
Lots of sniffing.
No more tiffing.
Friends in making.
Tails are shaking.
This poem made me smile!
Love the “no more tiffing.”
You may be big
I may be small
But our noses
Feel just
the
Same
-Jen Lehmann
Twang went my heartstrings.
“our noses feel just the same.”
Lovely.
Spun the bottle
Twice,
Now there’s three
Nose to nose
Kisses.

Detente is over
Diplomacy unraveled
Tried sniffing butts
Now the only solution left
Is war between the mutts

Re: Detente is over
Rick – sorry for missing this. I left to go out of town on Friday myself. I got the one after this on my phone but not this one.
I love the “tried sniffing butts” line and yes, now it looks like they are read for a shakedown.
I’ve added it to the overall one too.
Move Over
You’re in my way.
Why don’t you move?
Can you not see?
I’m ignoring you.
By Judy
Re: Move Over
I enjoyed this, Judy.
I see it with dogs all the time so you nailed the image.
