Excerpt from 'Woofs of Wisdom on Writing' by CorgiScribe; illustrated by Susan Alison

Night and/or day


Some pups rival the nocturnal habits of owls
tapping away into the bowels
of night getting down their howls
of creative birth.

They end up with permanent writerly scowls,
bags under their eyes down to their jowls,
loads of prose with not enough vowels,
and an increasing girth.

But despite the leg-aching midnight prowls,
the frustrated and often nonsensical growls,
the slapping of faces with wet towels
– for some of us it can be of great worth!

Others of us need to sleep at night
and only work in the light
of day.
That is to say:

don’t be wary
if you vary
from the ‘norm’.


Because there isn’t one.




Yayyy!!! Woofs of Wisdom on Writing is published!!!

Marathon


Panting and grunting and panting some more,
almost drowning out the cheers;
little legs pumping, paws getting sore.

Tongue flapping,
lolloping ears;
paws on the trail slapping.

Focussing on the music your body makes,
forgetting all your fears;
forgetting all your pains and aches…

Each paw thud sets the tone,
the ground flies by, hurt disappears.
RacerCorgi is in The Zone.


(until someone yells: “Supper!” - and then he’s not…)

This is another pic and verse from The Corgi Games....
