Student poems

I love getting mail from readers. It is the best part of being an author to imagine my book touched anyone enough for them to take the time to tell me about it.

This latest package I received has to be shared!

Not only did these elementary students from Massachusetts send me some fantastic ideas for a sequel (sadly, there will not be a sequel guys, ICE DOGS is a stand alone) but they also sent me these amazing POEMS

I have their permission to post these on my blog. Enjoy!

Chris

burned the map

by Jaime 

this is just to say 

I have burned the 

map that you gave

 to me

and you were probably trying to 

get us home

forgive me


I am very clumsy boy and 

so foolish

Four Little Booties 

By Christian 

The Point Of View Of Whistler

so much depends 

upon

four little 

booties

sewn with the cloth from a 

blanket

on my paws

Triple­Cheese Burgers
 

By Declan 

From The Point Of View Of Chris

So much depends upon


Triple­cheese burgers


Cooked perfectly


With orange cheddar cheese 

My team


by Rebecca 

So much depends 

upon

My muscular dogs

Dorset, Blue, Drift, 

Gazzo, Whistler, and 

don’t forget Bean

Carrying me in 

the sled 

running rapidly

Bean By: 

Sofia


from the point of view of Vicky

so much depends upon,

Bean the ice dog, 

in the wilderness, 

guiding me home

this is just to say

i need food and i wanted to hurt your dog but when i got on the trail

 you threw your snow shoe at me


and i ran and your dogs chased me and i hurt one of your leaders bean
