Like a dog chewing her paw? Damn, that is condescending! B.S. like this gives poetry a bad name.

It may not seem much but I'm learning a lot just by listening to the poems that are read out loud here.

I don't believe that a dog is capable of taking the action at the end of this poem.

I recently subscribed to this podcast, and while the poetry itself is quite good, the readers need to lighten up! The last 3 episodes sounded very depressing to the point I almost unsubscribed. However, the poems are beautifully written and I will continue to listen and hold out hope for some more up-beat voices.
