Poppy & Me |
No kidding: I was sitting there reading and listening to “The Loch Ness Monster’s Song” by the just-passed-on Scottish bard Edwin Morgan when I noticed that Poppy, our Min-Pin Chihuahua, was staring wide-eyed at my laptop. She tilted her head this way and that through the entire performance, like any attentive listener at a poetry reading. Carol Ann Duffy called Morgan “poetry’s true son,” and she must be right, if he can mesmerize dogs like Poppy and me.
