Hey All,
I found an interesting metaphor in "Dog in Bed". "You are my warm, furred planet centered in my bed." Obviously a dog is not a planet, but maybe in this line Joyce Sidman is referring to the dog as a planet in the solar system of the bed. Planets are very big and powerful things and maybe this calling a dog a planet was expressing strong feelings for the dog that the owner had. Dogs are on other planets than us while still being there for warmth.
Hope you can relate,

I thought that you interpeted the metaphor in a great way. You connected the real world to the world that the poet was in.
Thanks for the metaphor!
