OR April 4 Haiku's

It was origanaly thought that cats used their wiskers to judge the width of holls to fit their bodies through, but now the new discovery and theory is that they use them to locate fish in the water by depth and distance.

Dog Park
As he meets the dogs
He invites them to play ball
And they play all day


Cat Dream
As the fat cat sleeps
He dreams of chasing plumb squirrels
To wake up with none


New Cat
It starts with a "HISSSSS!"
They don't like each other first
But become good friends

OR April 4 Free Verses

Crazy Pets
My dog can drink an ocean dry
His nose is as cold as an iceberg
My cat is as big as a house
But he's timid like a mouse






















Wondering Dog
The German Shepherd with a silky coat
Wandering on his own
Who solved problems and saved lives
Always offered, but never needing a home
Preferring to be alone

Did you know that a dog’s heart beats between 70 and 120 times a minute, compared with a human heart which beats 70 to 80 times a minute.

Quatrain: 

My three dogs:

I have three dogs

Two brown and one yellow

Both of the browns are girls
And the yellow is a fellow

One brown is happy
One brown is lazy
But the yellow who is a fellow
Is just plain crazy

If you haven't guessed

My dogs are all Labradors

They are a lot like people

Except they cant open doors

The yellow one who is crazy
Sleeps on my bed
He curls up beside me
Right by my head

I love all my dogs
They are all my best friends
This is a true story

And this is the end

The bad lab

My dogs is so cool

He can do an amazing trick

He can swim on his back

Man, i tell you it's sick

When I say sick, I mean cool

But you know what I mean

His trick is so bad

It's the best trick I've ever seen

Mysterious cat:

Cats are a mystery to me

I have never had one for a pet

Dogs I love and care about

But cats... I just don't get

Don't get me wrong

I think cats are neat

But having dogs for a pet

That just can't be beat

OR April 2

Haiku's:

Swimming Fish
As the fish swims 'round
He is oblivious to...
The couragous cat


Hungry Hungry Henry
The dog is waiting
And he will hit his big bowl
Until he gets food
 

Undecided Cat
He waits by the door
To go outside and stay here
Wanting to do both


Free Verse:

Waiting Dog
When the dog just stares
When it seems like you just don't care
He will BARK
With all his might
Until you pick up the leash
And take your happy dog out

NR Haiku Day April 2nd

Haiku:
The silent dog:

The cool dog runs far
On its four paws like a mouse
Silently runs free

Muddy Dog:

The dog is a dump
Its muddy paws wreck the floor
In my nice new house

Dreaming cat:

As doves fly above
The cat dreams of fish and peace
Then wakes to eat fish

The bad dog:

WOOF the bad dog goes
As someone walks on his land
He barks till they flee

The dog in a Building:

The small dog walks up
To the big cross and kneels down
Then goes to heaven


The Rhyme cat:

The cat eats the rat
The sits on a big huge mat
And thinks that's it's fat
