What to do if You Are a Retriever
Freeze until the command is given.
Explode from the down-stay.
Tear across the lawn at lightning speed.
Catch the frisbee, mid-air.
Hustle back, tail high, ready for more.

Robyn Campbell has the Poetry Friday roundup this week.
Holy cow! You are writing poems for 61 days in a row!!!!! You are amazing! My girl is black, but you capture her perfectly!
ReplyDeleteNo, no, no! I haven't been going strong since January! I fell off the wagon about mid-month, and February was a very dry spell. I have now written poems for a whopping FIVE days in a row!
DeleteRuff ruff (bark of approval). Nicely done. Also love how the photo was taken by someone whose last name ends with CH.
ReplyDeleteThis is so delightful! Love how much action and motion you have packed into this powerful acrostic.
ReplyDeleteThis is so great! I just love when an acrostic is brilliant, and this one is!
ReplyDeleteThat's adorable. Woof.
ReplyDeleteHowling good, Mary Lee! That last line is excellent advice for some of us human-types as well. :)
ReplyDeleteMy retreiver mix is nodding in agreement with every line of Fetch.
ReplyDeleteLove that "Explode from the down-stay"! You must know dogs. (And the photographer's name begins with "Ch" too!)
ReplyDeleteYour wonderful poem makes me want to borrow my sister's dog and go throw a frisbee for her. (My 10-year old beagle would just watch the frisbee sail by!)
ReplyDeleteWOOT I mean WOOF, Mary Lee! Thank you so much for sticking with me all week--you're going strong and I'm glad the words are working for you! This one and your windy punch poem are my favorites.
ReplyDeleteMeet you on Monday for preaCH?
This poem is a peaCH! It is not a reaCH to say your poetry and pooCH both pack a punCH. =)
