Ode To A Mastiff

There is no if or and...I STAND, my face a soulful droopy softness turning to resolve, a glint like brightly sharpened steel flashes in my steady gaze. My muscles tense and my tail curves like a bent bow. If evil comes here, I have it in my sight. I match your calculating look with equal intensity. You may not pass. You will not win. Don't try your whiles at this door, don't come near my yard. Approach with fear for I am guarding here. My Name Is Mastiff.


There is a thrill that we all feel when our sweet and gentle family pet goes to high alert. I'm always impressed and sometimes moved to poetry. I have never felt safer in my life. She puts the fear of God and Dog into the ill intentioned that lurk about looking for opportunities. She is my protector, my champion, my pet.

Thanks. What's the phrase, imitation is the best form of flattery...let's hear one from you. I mean, we have our muse, our Mastiffs, it's amazing that we haven't written full-out Broadway musicals about these amazing creatures.

Double Dog Dare Yah!

Once upon a time, a long time ago... Yes, back in the day I wrote. I never published, but I had some success, and then, just as I was coming into my own my world imploded and that future was gone. I talk about going back,.opening those doors again, but...but...but.....

Ummh...deep subject. I have a friend...Stupendous woman, she self published and it was a total bust. Even with an online presence, it was a disaster. I might take another swing at the writer's guild contest this spring.. I've placed in the top ten before which got me vetted by three publishers.

We'll see. We'll see.

But, I threw down a challenge! Who will put pen to paper to lionize our majestic Mastiffs? They should have songs written to them. Whose up for it? Franklin's Mom? I seem to remember you are a wordsmith, too.

Sweet pea, I know you have the soul to write a tome regarding our guardian angels. Poetry, Prose, Short Stories, Novellas, a three book deal, soon-to-be movie...go for it.. If you will, I will. Triple Dog Dare You! Quadruple Mastiff Dog Dare You!

Okay, mastiff owners...

Within the orange-gilded template
A mastiff poet lies in wait
She thunders to the others,
"Answer my call!"
But a mutt owner will beat them all
My hybrid runs coursing swift
My hound mix, purebreds she out-sniffs
My chihuahua is the fiercest one
I dare your EM to spoil his fun
You may have papers you can show
But in my core, firmly I know
My dogs are pure; when they stand alert
Their hearts sing with mine,
Come unwanted, your end will be curt

Love it! Good job, Siloh. :)

Not quite as deep as hers, but it was fun! I just wish some of our friends here would take a crack at it. ;)

Come on, guys, it's fun! You could do a haiku!

I love that ewlizbat was nice enough to share her work with her forum friends. It's always so good to see people's creativity shine!

I'd also love to see someone do one of those initial-based poems... Like

Massive
and so on

You could do one for your breed, or for your dog's name. C'mon... :D
