The New Dog

Into the gravity of my life,
the serious ceremonies
of polish and paper
and pen, has come

this manic animal
whose innocent disruptions
make nonsense
of my old simplicities--

as if I needed him
to prove again that after
all the careful planning,
anything can happen.

Hi there! The New Dog poem is great. My new dog just turned 9 months old yesterday. Moose is the sweetest little guy, well not so little anymore, but still sweet. Never had a chocolate lab mix before.

Have a great Dogurday!

That’s way too many syllables to be a haiku.

.

To prove once again
That without careful planning,
Everything happens.

Now, technically, that’s a haiku.
