Cats & Dogs

For over forty years, Dennis Herrell has been writing both serious and humorous poems about his life in this civilized society. He finds his poems by keeping his eyes and ears open and his mouth shut. Mostly. He really likes to write short funny poems that are like verbal snapshots or vignettes of some of the remarkable living creatures that share our world. He especially likes Haiku, with its 3-line, condensed view of nature and life, and has published over 150 Haiku so far. This time in “Cats & Dogs”, Dennis gives his readers a delightful mixture of humorous and touching poems about these remarkable animals that share our lives. His general theme for his five-book series is the idea that we are actually living with other creatures in this world. And with cats and dogs, these
two creatures are more like friends and family. We and our buddies truly live our lives together.

Dennis Herrell was a teacher, a sporting goods wholesaler, a gift/card wholesaler, and antique dealer. He is now retired. His writing life began in college, and continued off and on during his working years. Dennis lives in Texas, a big, diverse land of desert, mountains, hills and valleys, meadows, prairies, rivers, lakes, and salt water bays and beaches. He calls the almost sub-tropical city of Houston his home. Dennis loves his 1920’s bungalow in the old historical Heights district of Houston. So, come visit Dennis in his book of poetry about two creatures that mean so very much to us every day. Dennis uses his unique touches of poetry to bring these amazing life forms to your electronic bookshelf. Have a little laugh, and perhaps a little sigh of wonderment, too.
