Patty, I think this is a very clever Haiku poem. You have managed to create a scene of activity from still words. Very descriptive and an enjoyable read. I can see those playful puppies going crazy over a bouncing ball. Very well done! ~DD

A poem for and about the doggies again, 'ey, Patty?
Yeah, I get it.
Our dogs are often a great source of companionship, as well as inspiration.
Not to mention that they'll often do some very silly, crazy things sometimes.
Well done.
WOOF!
~Dean :)

    Good morning, Dean. Yes, the dogs took to barking at me until I wrote a piece about them. Howie didn't want it to be solely about Bernie, and Bernie reciprocated the feeling. The compromise was to write only about the snack ball. That bought me about a week until I have to churn out another doggy tail - I mean tale. 😀
    Thanks for reading along and for the lovely stars,
    ~patty~

Really loved the art work
for these words written
When a ball bounces
some certainly could be frightened.

Loved what you wrote.

This is so true, "it bounces, they run". The little ones are always mad of balls, so puffy cute they play. And this one is real artistic, " four little black eyes twinkle".
Have a nice day. Namaskaram

Enjoyed your haiku in honour of your playful pups.

Interesting Author notes... I have been off site for some considerable time and it appears that rules are changing/evolving all time. I too, though haiku had to be nature orientated.

Thank you for sharing.
Laurie

I can just see Howie and Bernie as their eyes light up at a brand new ball.
They must be full of high energy.
Excellent imagery.
Crisp words.
Fantastic work.

Hi Patty what a cute little rhyme that really paints a picture in the mind's eye.. Each line leads perfectly to the next and gives the reader an excitable happy emotion, feeling the joy of the puppies about to fetch that bouncing ball. Awesome little treat.. thanks for sharing Patty. cheers mel xxx

A very well-written 5-7-5 poem. Two puppies with twinkling eyes wait for that round ball to be thrown, then chasing after it for the first prize. Both are winners in their own right.

Sweet! Great imagery, "four little black eyes twinkle". The simple joys of a bouncing ball to dogs - can't help but smile. :) Enjoyed!

the ball is in play
four little black eyes twinkle
it bounces, they run

I like the playfulness of this verse. Your pups must bring a lot of fun and joy into your life. I can picture those little black eyes just anticipating the ball being thrown for them to chase.
