What The Dog Perhaps Hears Comments

Absolutely love it! I think we are deaf to SO much. Maybe this poem helps to open our ears, and minds. On another not-so-pleasant note: our planet - surely it screams through space?

refreshing to read this poem with mueller's accessibility, pleasant and quirky imagination (which i relate to) , and her great nouns and verbs and images. it was here in ph i was recently introduced to her poetry, and i followed up by checking from my local library her pulitzer prize-winning book- it's full of good stuff! visually looking at how the poem is rendered here, i wonder if the last line should actually be two lines. to keep a poetic conversation going, here's a short poem of mine with similarities to this one: Dog sniffs intently round a spot of dirt- what worlds we don't know! glen kappy

that's the trouble with people they are always to busy to listen?

Excellent write! Excellent wit! ! ! Excellent companion for a long empty night.

Nice poem about living with happy dog. Thank you Lisel Mueller for this poem.

After reading the Moon Fishing I just couldn't stop and came to her page for more. This is poetry at best. Thank you for sharing your wonderful poems.

Love the way the poets poems causes one to stop and ponder. Always get that aha! Why didn't I ever think of that, but now that you mention it.........

Besides all of the 'why didn't i ever think of this? ' moments in this poem - i love how we are led to see beyond the experience of human existence - and be hit with a reminder that how, in some contexts, WE are not the most aware.

In a word: I'm impressed. This is poetry. H

This is something I truly have never thought about....... I love that! I really enjoy reading something that triggers thoughts that I've never pondered. Thanks for that. sincerely, Mary
