His Playground

He prances and plays -- until alerted to a creature elsewhere -- what is it?

Banks Lake looks quiet, but lots are hidden but heard; with poem-- Our Country Torn, Still In the bulrush, a flutter of wings, a splash warns, the dog turns at each Sheri Edwards Poetry/Photography/Haiku 04.14.2025 NaPoWriMo

Hidden but Heard

drive by the serene scene, but there's a lot going on...

Golden-doodle with mullein stalk; and his poem: Not Sure He’s a Dog We’re not sure we have dog; Throw a ball, throw a stick, And he stands looking at you, wondering what to do. But hold out a stick And he’ll gladly grab it— gingerly grasping it with his snout And running, proudly, shaking it about. Sheri Edwards Poetry/Photography 04.13.2025 NaPoWriMo
