Best Sniff Poems

I believe, I may have missed the boat
The water’s deep, I couldn’t float
Perhaps the marks I set weren’t high
The tide’s in now – I’ll wave bye-bye

I read Thoreau and Frost, I know
Of wilderness and falling snow
Of Roads Not Taken tongue in cheek
Of singing trees and...

Why Dogs Sniff Behinds

By Elton Camp

All dogs very long ago, a meeting did call
Each hung his behind on a peg on the wall

The conclave was going along pretty well
When a passing cat the canines did smell

Desire to chase him created quite an uproar
And the pack...

As the mountain sniff the thyme  
The valley the basil, 
The forests the trees and swamps.
 
As the waves launched their rein and foam, 
And the chest of the sea open to his  sensualism and obscenity 
As the knower's wisdom roar in the...

The dogs are banned from fields of green
lest anyone should “step in it”
yet 50 geese just landed there
and no one tells them where to “..it”

Masked bandits prowl the streets at night
trash can clamor in the alleyways
making their rounds on scheduled trips
coinciding with trash collection days.

Dawn’s...

Once your gone youre gone
That means youre dead for real
Its like the healings going backwards
Man im tryna heal

Itll be sent through my...

Trefinder smelled the strangers days before he came upon them
Landing on this planet had increased his sniff-finder a thousand times.
He had to forbid his crew from wearing deodorant after a few hours.
For the first time he could see the benefit to his sniff-finder now.

They had...

four families conspire for success
one left standing
the other three beggar their neighbors for a mulligan
didnt you hear the world was ending?
just want it over
and over
this is where i live
wonderful life, but dont tell me that
I'm not supposed to be here
abracadabra never made me dissapear
beautiful when...

Enjoy every day peeps, can be over in a jiff
You just settle in and you sniff your last sniff
Short but sweet it can be
If you giggle till you pee
Just talk about things like planting a big wet kiss...

Calm.    Watch.   Sniff. 
We are dogs
with runny noses yet tongues sealed
as we detect the unjust stamp on our rights
and still, 
 tie our tongues and breathe in hurtful words
Where's the relieve?
Where are the seeds? 
Why suck in talent?
Why sniff in...

Great advice, scratch 'n sniff to paradise
Might take a few scratches, it's a roll of the dice
Odds are not in your favor
No matter, someone will savor
A huge lump of cash, a limitless fortune will entice...

If Forever I can not stay with you
Don’t let me start
A journey so blue

If you’re gonna  keep me locked up all day 
Then leave me free now, 
I’ll find a way

If you can not speak to me 
without a yell
Then leave me in this...

It was a perfect day, a sunny golden day.
I felt the gentle sweep of easy breezes,
the music of the wind.
It was my daily stroll around the neighborhood,
my daily clarity.

It was there, and then I beheld the cat,
the leashed Siamese cat, prowling and smelling.
A man clutched...
