awwww this is so good. this anthropomorphic imagery seems almost true. i could see it vividly as a children’s book (i’ve been reading a lot of them lately) so beautiful. with great admiration and gratitude for this poetic vision. gigi

  Thank you for taking the time to comment. Today it was working for you. For me this poem is a kind of lived experience. I love the idea of a children’s book. Children’s books are often filled with fabulous images via art!

  Sorry about the double access request. The system seems to act differently depending on what device you are on. Glad it worked though and I’m glad you enjoyed the poem.

Bright flicker! Phrases new to me:
Carve old channels
Her cooked taste
Your poem reveals why human intellect collapses as our irresistible nature runs.
Hear an echo in a Dylan lyric,
“If dogs run free, then why not we?”

  Thanks so much for your comment. “poem reveals why our human intellect collapses as our irresistible nature runs” I love the way your phrase this — yes, inescapable at odds and drawn together. Complicated. An interesting insight that really the girl, the dog are one.

This is very relatable as a dog owner. Some of Della’s nature is as unknown to me as her crazy lineage…but this concept of the tension between her nature and my wants is so familiar.

About Me

“I’m a retired Humanities professor, published essayist, poet, painter, singer, and old-time fiddle musician living on an historic two-hundred-acre farm in Eastern Oregon. I plant gardens for pollinators and revel in insects, bird dogs, donkeys, goats, cats, and American fantail and roller pigeons. My lyric landscapes are oak savannah, prairie, and riparian. Writing poetry gives me a way to express and question the rhythms I hear. My chapbook The Beautiful One’s Ark (2024) is available through The Poetry Box and online bookstores. Sher Poetry celebrates poetry as an oral language art. Each week I’ll share a poem from some of my work or from that of other poets who I love to hear.
