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

Wednesday Wrap Up Block Prints Florals and Birds

a fantastic week of a design challenge, 100 day project, and poetry

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.
