I like how The Dog is capitalized, giving him the deity treatment. Very appropriate.

Oh your beautiful pie makes my poet heart sing. Those colors and textures are so beautiful. The reds and the blues and the delicate green. The shells and feather and wood and stone. Bark scrolls and seaweed tangles! And the branches with all the white clam shells!

I have a windowsill full of stones and shells and a piece of driftwood because I can't stop picking them up and bringing them home. I also have a pile of quahog shells in the back garden and there are fragments of mussels around the base of one of my maples. But I've never thought to make a pie with them.
