Still summer morning / Friends reflect beneath blue sky / Your haiku: Epic
Simply beautiful, Matthew R. Click for full image
Bespectacled geek
Beautiful golden maned girl…
True love forever
ooooooooooooooooooooo *dies of cyoot*
Summer at the lake
Got my canine best friend here
Who could ask for more?
Blue sky, blue water
Golden friend quietly hugged
Perfection is mine
Snuggling retriever
Meaning of serenity
Under perfect sky
Still summer water.
Calm ’til dog’s best friend ponders
ripples . . . Where’s the cat?
The look in her eyes
proves there is no greater love
than that from a dog.
Tranquil blue lagoon
Serene under the blue sky
Until the dog farts
Golden memories
Fill my heart with tears of joy
Since you had to leave

Guy is thinking “Awww”
Golden dog is wondering
“Is it dinner time?”
Whisper sweet nothings
I’ll be your friend for life man
Do I smell hot dogs?
They meet, and both think:
“You look nothing like your pic.”
“Curse you, match.com!”
[ *SNORT* - Ed.]
my best friend and i
gazing upon the water
on the perfect day
and where are they? that looks sooooo relaxing
[Unrelated... what the hayle is the story about your avatar pic? - Ed.]
Guy cuddling with dog?
No, guy restraining moocher.
Dude, that’s my pizza!
[Unrelated... what the hayle is the story about your avatar pic? - Ed.]
i dunno, i can’t see any avatars at work! dear lord, what is it?!
I’m in dog heaven
even though there are no squirrels.
Human, sun, wuv, peace.
Ed. – I think it’s one of those teeth whitener ads… hee.
I lurv my goggie
He lurvs me back no question
that is all I need
@Resse, it appears to be a very angry Shaq after drinking a gallon of grape Kool-Aid.
When you release me
I will swim far from the shore
And bark like a fool
Oh! Wish I weren’t so haiku-impaired! Lawf the picture!
yay! changed it for something much cuter
lame-o attempt:
I shall try thees now:
BFF, Serenity
What more could you want?
Resse — here it is
As far as a description
Theresa nailed it
Awww, something abut this photo just makes me want to burst in to tears. It’s so unbelievably sweet and peaceful and just beautiful.
You and me buddy
Silent, patient, profound love
Let’s sit here all day
Resse — here it is
I freely confess I was
Just a bit startled
___________________
still using haiku,
you have mastered the art form
that was so awesome
[Ahhhh, you got it before I changed it!
- Ed.]
Man and Man’s Best Friend
Snorgeling at the day’s end
Love’s definition.
He whispered to me:
“Someday, this will all be yours.”
Little does he know!
[Nice! *non-ironic clapping* - Ed.]
Water! Temptation!
I’ll drag human in and then
give him a shower
ma cherie amour
i so lof your long, blonde hair
shame about your legs..
Crushed seashell gravel
Under a bench by the sea
My dog and I sit.
Unmitigated
Two friends in the Summer sun
Unparelled
You, provider of food
Are good at scratching ears
Let’s sit quietly
My dog used to have a ‘move’. If is was sitting on the bed, she would hop up and sit next to me. Then she’d lean on me. Then she’d push me over, so we were both lying down. She just wanted a cuddle. Bless. Still miss her, but she had a jolly good treat-filled life, and many, many walks in the park.
I look for my god,
Not for a church or temple,
On a bench with you.
I know it’s not a haiku, but…
I’m going to pet-sit for some friends for a week and a half starting tonight. The last time I pet-sat for them, one of their animals got sick enough that it had to be put down (no fault of my own; kitty was 20 years old). I’ve been very nervous about doing it again, but this picture just made me feel like everything’s gonna be okay. I’ll make sure to sit on the couch with the dogs tonight and let them know how much I love ‘em.
“Arf arf arf arf arf,”
*gentle nudge with cold black nose*
“I love you too, dog.”
Private detective
takes badly framed photograph.
Man in divorce court.
A Reservoir Dog
And Quentin Tarantino
Just warming the bench
Aww, where did Shaq go? I miss him!
[He misses you too
[But seasons march ever on
[I got a screenshot - Ed.]
Golden Retriever is
a little piece of sunshine
with a fluffy tail.
They say that love is
How couples sit side by side
When there’s lots of room
But in this photo
They are keeping their eyes peeled
For Loch Ness monsters
don’t worry my friend
didn’t know you fear water
when I threw the stick
I know he wishes
he had a tail like mine: ha!
I love him a lot.
I wuv you human
Looking at the clear blue lake
The best day ever
By the way, my peeps
Where was this picture taken?
I want to go there!
Can’t see from the back:
Cat curled between dog and man.
Hand and paw pat her.
BFF 3-way:
Snorgling at its very best
Heaven smiling down.
“You think I’m
all snorgly, serene;
wait’ll
squirrel comes by.”
where are they? i want to go… now…
There are no vacuums
in Heaven, all is serene.
This shows what I mean.
lean on me my friend
even when you drool on me
i am always here
Master, I loooove you
With all my doggie heart… SQUIRREL!
Uh, now where was I?
Man and gorgeous dog
Lazing on warm bench. Deep sighs.
“Now what shall we do?”
(the worst thing about haiku is that the minute i hit enter I almost always think of a better line!) Pretend my haiku starts with line; Cute man, gorgeous dog.
This is definitely going to be how I grow old.
No wife to sit with
A fantastic pup instead
Life’s better this way
I have no haiku in me today but this picture makes me extremely happy. I can’t wait to get home and throw my arms around my own two little niblets!
My forever friend
Peacefully we sit
No better time can there be
adorable dog,
and our legendary view,
my beautiful day.
Friends say you’re a dog
But I know better than them
You’re my best friend too
Dog’s reply:
Yes I am your friend
I will love you forever
Please give me a treat
cool, dry summer day
man and best friend take it in
i love you darling
remind me again,
why would man need marry?
oh yea i forgot
your goldenous hair
those eyes, your kisses so sweet
but that breath -gag me!
baths, shots, license fees
you’re worth it my gold beauty!
not high maintenance.
your loyalty high
your demeanor calm, and you,
so faithful to me
why get going now?
we’ve no appointments today
enjoy the clean air!
Wow gillian, that covers their whole day, I guess!
Who needs a girl when
I’ve got my doggeh pal, BUT
Girls smell more sweetly
Dogs give the greatest love on the planet, what a perfect picture.
Aw! Very sweet!
This photo rebukes
The boneheads who use the phrase
“Just an animal.”
It even had a seasonal reference! REAL HAIKU FTW.
A man with a dog?
I won’t complain, just pass me
a cold pasickie.
I said I loved you.
They said you were just a dog.
But what’s wrong with that?
We can feel the love
Of you being together
Friends need nothing else.
calm before the storm
when I ruin a moment
by throwing ball in
Dang it…
Earlier there were a couple of versions of an haiku here posted by “Daniel”, which included a correction. I was trying to be a conscientious Editor and make the correction, while eliminating the duplicate comment, but in the process, I accidentally deleted BOTH comments. GAHH.
@Daniel — my bad, sorry; could you repost the “sign” version? I promise it’ll stay.
Master, look yonder
ripples on blue water caused
by big CATfish farts
Work tensions relieved
By frequent view of man, dog,
water, sky, sun, .. sigh.
normally i can’t do haiku but it came to me today!
A man and his dog
Sitting on a lakeside bench
The best day ever!
[snicker] “catfish farts” [snort]
I can now see me
and my german summer boy
smooching on da bench
Basking in the sun
by a lake, with my doggie
how great can this be…….
wow i really like these haikus
ok here’s mine:
i’ve been up since three
can’t rhyme for the life of me
so cat speaks for me…
i think it meshes perfectly. do you remember? when we met? that’s the day, i knew you were my pet… seriously turn on the song and pull up the pic!
Kat — you are such a sweetie-pie!
The old pond is still
Until a dog jumps in
Splashing of water
**************
I could chase a duck
or dig a hole in the sand
Instead I stay with you
Apologies–too late in the day to count.
The old pond is still
Until a dog hurdles in
Splashing of water
**************
I could chase a duck
or dig a hole in the sand
Yet I stay with you
Haikus are so lame
They are bad and getting worse
From repetition
Golden labrador
With his best friend, by the lake
Under a blue sky
My last one was cr**, wasn’t it??!!!!!!!!
[No, though you might have some trouble with the folks who insist that haikus include some sort of seasonal reference. I'm not one of those folks. However, if you don't mind, I'd appreciate it if you'd choose a more reader-friendly & pronounceable screen name... - Ed.]
love this man and dog
when will cute overload launch
dating service, please?
(yeah, my haikus are the worst. but still: how ABOUT that cuteoverload dating service?)
@K –
We joke about dates
But really, we’re not equipped
Happiness right now!
Warm canine breath
Sunshine trapped in silken fur
Unmitigated bliss.
Inspired by Lydia’s post, and beautiful memories
Lydia – three-five
What a lovely sentiment
‘minds me of my Ben
Noble and loyal
so he sat with me – until
Fate took Ben away
Ben gentle and good
always there and taking care
Love and miss him much
Man and dog by lake
Love each other while you can
Like the dearest friends
Nobody’s looking we think
Wet sloppy kisses
Unbridled joy
Lunch on a bench
Potato chips missing
Chomp
…and they called it puppy looooove…
I hope he doesn’t leeck inside her earz…
This is one of the Perfect moments in life…
I hope my dog gets it when I say “Je t’aime” to her…
Matthew R.: first, thanks for sharing this great moment with all of us. Second, I hope you wouldn’t mind me to make myself an avatar with this lovely pic to represent a part of me, on the net. ^^ (I’ll credit you of course)
Blood pressure descends
as mood elevates
Photo therapy is working
@ ellen – yess!!! yes!!!!!!! (as i sit here with my coffee getting my morning dose of photo therapy)
your sloppy kisses
remind me of my puppy
who looks down on me
sitting on a bench
my furry friend next to me
serve me while I sit
WHIRL of emotion
Life is a just a little cake
You are the frosting.
A golden beauty
with a nerd like that?please gag me!
we’re in the world.
Haiku reminder
Five-seven-five count or fail
This is how it works
