quiet lullaby by the lake and cattails; with poem Quiet Lullaby A breeze flows across the lake beneath a blue sky peppered in growing clouds; the dog pauses to capture the scent flowing through the dry, rustling cattails; the blackbirds and wrens hide silently away as the sun’s warmth soothes me into a nap in nature’s quiet lullaby.

Quiet Lullaby

warmth of the sun, a gentle breeze, a quiet peace

Banks Lake; dog on alert; poem: His Playground Sniff: nose to the ground; alert: attend to that sound: splash! Muskrat retreats. Sheri Edwards Poetry/Photography/Haiku 04.15.2025 NaPoWriMo

His Playground

Sheri Edwards

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

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

Not Sure He’s a Dog

Sheri Edwards

What do you think?

along Banks Lake, Wa; a poem: I Am Thankful No matter the chaos of losing one’s life savings as the country I love is dissolved— I am thankful for the warmth of the evening sun shining on my smiles, the rush of a gentle breeze from the marsh as it slips through my hair, the evensong of red-winged blackbirds clinging to last year’s cattails along Banks Lake as we, my best friends, the dog and he, laugh and walk at day’s end.

Pet Portrait Sugar

Sheri Edwards

Sugar, on Flickr Inspiration for the Pet Today is one of my grandson's birthday. When he was very young, in second grade, I think, he wrote his parents a letter, begging them for a dog.
