Wake up your poetry brains with 15 Words or Less (guidelines here)!
Sigh. I wanted to show you Jack’s trick of sitting nicely with a treat balanced on his nose. I say, “Leave it. Leave it. Leave it. OK!” And when I say OK, he whips his head around, the treat flies off, and he (sometimes) catches it. However, Jack is not behaving today. I barely got my fingers out of the way before he was flippin’ that treat! This image makes me think of:
1) those sketchy machines at some malls and Chuck E. Cheeses that do the computerized pencil sketch of you while you sit in the mini-car
2) a transporter machine, like in Star Trek and other SF story worlds, where you disintegrate and then appear somewhere else
3) a man who is constantly running so fast the whole world is a blur.
And here’s my?first draft.

They say, “Sit still.”
I do, until
just before the snap.
Picture mishap.
Laura, I’ve known some kids that illustrate your poem perfectly!
this describes the pic wonderfully

Laura,
I loved the descriptions in your poems and how they blurred together.
I can’t see Mommy’s face!
It’s been too long–
Memory’s fading.
I have a cat she doesn’t like when I’m away this is wonderful and so true

Jack Attack!
Don?t need strategy,
just need grab-egy.
Tongue slap, blur that,
treat inside of me.

Work! Who, Me?
I recline
paws behind
you place
I toss
one bounce
into the mouth.
I recline!
Hope you are having fun. Love your verse for this pic. Being a dog owner, I can sense Jack’s inner satisfaction as you do all the work! He doesn’t even have to grab, just needs one bounce on the hard surface.

Home from the Pound
trembling cur
pick out burrs
scrub his fur
hugs occur
joyful blur
like the rhyming in your pome

Where Have You Bine Pup?
A Rainy City
Scuba diving
Exploring a rainforest
Focal finding
Securing of dinosaurs
Exploring a cavern
An Antarctica blizzard
Jumped in a mud puddle
To get my bone
Bubbles ? bubbles
Bubbles everywhere
Why did you put me in?
In the wash tub?
I know this is way over the word count but It is what I thought of

Not pebble, but kibble
Snatched from the hand
The student becomes the master
Very clever Grasshopper. David Carradine would be proud.

MORNING SNACK
A whirring of
head shaking
happiness as
Fido snatches his
snack from my
anxious fingertips.
