hm... somewhat morbid. is this an ode? why would he write a poem on a poem
for his daughter about his dead dog? why doesnt he just post the poem for
his daughter? and does he have a shift button with which to capitolize
words?

i know everyone gets many different meanings from poems butthe other two
comments here have nothing to do with this poem. it has a depper meaning
then a dead dog, the death of the dog inspires himt o write about it then
that inspires him to write of the good poem he wrote yet there are still
inturuptions to him and his writing.
