Analysis of The wooden bells
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
The dogs sang together - their bark
They ran free together - in the park
Their barks were like wooden bells
They held wooden sticks in their mouths
Like a chorus of angels holding swords
And sniffing smells
They sit proud, eyes focused on me
For they were mine body and spirit - Cassey!
