[NAGDU] Haiku

[Tracy Carcione]

These haiku were published in the Navigator newsletter for TSE graduates.
The author wrote 1 for each of her dogs.

I think they're great, and wanted to share.  If anyone else wants to share
some guide dog poetry or such, I'd be interested.

Haiku, in tribute to my dogs

by Rebecca Lineberger

 

Title: In The Beginning: A Guide's Lament 

"I told you to stop!

Why don't you pay attention!"

Loud Labrador sigh.

 

Title: Morning Walk

My guide beside me,

Along sidewalks leaf-strewn gold,

eyes calm, paws careful.

 

Title: Hunger pangs

Nose touching my hand.

Eleven o'clock. "Snack please."

"Yes, now!" Crunch, gulp. "More?"

 

Title: For My Eagle, His Work Done (August 21, 2019) 

Taking care of me, 

Gentle, calm, eyes filled with love, 

Thank you! Go in peace.
