The Poet's Dog by PATRICIA MacLACHLAN, poetically beauteous, filled with heart...

assistant editor's Tama and Frosty, elated by a tail they've discovered 'and we so want to share it with you', purrs Tama

                      

'and that's tale, not tail,

mr. editor', 

mews frosty                           

sorry, noble assistants, 
just kidding! 

please, share your 

tale with us...

'this lovely story', 

says Tama, 'about Teddy,

by Patricia MacLachlan, 

speaks for itself, for kids,
for dogs, and for poets!'

'and kitties', adds Frosty 

'it's for and about all of us!' 

  

Teddy: 

'But only poets

And children

Hear'                              

'More, Teddy!"

Our hero, Teddy
the Irish wolfhound,
speaking to the poet
in all of us:

'Alone
In a fierce winter storm
Nickel and Flora are brave
But afraid
A dog finds them
Teddy
Speaks words
And brings them to shelter                    

The Poet's cabin
Has light and food
And love
But where is the Poet?
Teddy will tell the story
Of how words make poems
And connect those who hear
Each other'                        
                                                   

surviving loss, recapturing love...
                                   our bookshelves need Teddy on them!

'And it will have a home among other lovely books we've reviewed for our young poets and our poetically young at heart', insists Tama

'Teddy's Sylvan will be waiting for Teddy on Rainbow Bridge, won't he, Tama' states Frosty

'yes, Frosty, that he will'
            Tama, purring. . .

'The poet who knows
knows much 
in his own nature'
Frosty: 'Pindar must be a 
Siamese, those cats know 
all about themselves'
