Lorimer Street + Powers Street

Giant retriever
crammed into smallest patch of
shade. It’s too damn hot.

The Brooklyn-Bound L Train

People care more for

“Does he need water?”

McCarren Park, by Lorimer Street

Your owner holds you,
her teeth clenching a cup, as
she flies on skateboard.

77th Street + 3rd Avenue

Glamorous poodle–
glancing over her shoulder–
fur blowing in breeze.

Happy summer, kids!

Shout out to all my students who found my blog this year. Happy summer, people! Enjoy! A special shoutout to the student who wrote her own dog haiku in my honor (you know who you are):

Pedro and Pepper / wagging tails and hanging tongues, / in early summer.

Thanks for a great year, kids! I promise to update frequently with lots of dog haikus for you to read over the next months.

xoxo,
Ms. Bartels
