These are some profound haikus. Someone has come up with these haikus from a dog's point of view.
For those of you not familiar, Haiku is a minimalist form of Japanese poetry. There are strict limits for the number of syllables on each line, 5 syllables on the first, 7 on the second and 5 in the third and last, no more no less.
I lie belly-up In the sunshine, happier than You will ever be.
Today I sniffed Many dog behinds -- I celebrate By kissing your face.
I sound the alarm! Paper boy -- come to kill us all Look! Look! Look! Look! Look!
I sound the alarm! Garbage man -- come to kill us all Look! Look! Look! Look! Look!
How do I love thee? The ways are as numberless as My hairs on the rug.
My human is home! I am so ecstatic I have Made a puddle.
I Hate my choke chain Look, world, they strangle me! Ack! Ack! Ack! Ack! Ack! Ack!
Sleeping here, my chin On your foot -- no greater bliss well, Maybe catching rats
Look in my eyes and Deny it. No human could Love you as much as I do.
The cat is not all Bad -- she fills the litter box With tootsie rolls.
Dig under the fence -- why? Because it is there. Because it's There. Because it's there.
I am your best friend, Now, always, and especially When you are eating.
What stayed with you?
A line that lingered, a feeling, a disagreement. Great comments are as valuable as the original piece.

brillianto - stupendous - could you provide the link where you got this stuff from.
Well, my apologies for the disappointment this will cause you - but i do not know the source of this brilliant work of art. I just got one of these group-forwarded-mails and I liked them. Thanks for the appreciation in any case.
excellent! great reading. though i am not sure if the syllable structure has been followed strictly in all the haikus. I tink some tof the second lines may be more than 7 syllables long. Maybe I am wrong. But absolutely excellent stuff.
