The bark haiku

A bark echos an-
other bark, joined by more bark,
two more – a chorus.

Note
Now you know what’s happening around here at 9 o’clock on a Saturday morning. Could be any day, though, any time. What is it with dog owners sequestering their beloved pooches on the balcony so they can vent their jealous anger at anything that moves freely below?

A Sunday morning haiku

Woken up by the
bark of a dog named Leila
passing by below.

Note
Of course I wouldn’t have known the dog’s name if her master hadn’t said it as he was trying to calm her down. Rome, January 29, 2017, 9:22 a.m.
