THANKSGIVING IN POETIC NEW YORK
It wouldn’t be Thanksgiving without the Macy’s Day Parade and so as we celebrate this season
of turning home- ward, let’s appreciate the good things in life and give thanks for the bounty of
wealth, health and gratitude for all that we have shared and with a thankful heart wish each other
Happy Thanksgiving. Instead of happenings I give you “Things I am Thankful For.” Here’s the
scoop!!!
Piles of crisp leaves cover the a walk in the woods, a crackling sound
Flocks of geese honking goodbye
overhead the frost of winter
nips at us instead
Pumpkin lanterns take over the
porch the night sky star-
kissed like a torch
Hot apple cider and cinnamon
stick cozy by the fireplace
lickety-split
The giggle of children taken by
surprise ogling baked pumpkin
and lush pecan pies
Time to tell stories under a comfy
quilt or snooze like a babe
without any guilt
Snuggle with a book to distant
lands Rock away
daydreams they’ll understand
You’re storing up memories to
keep watching the twilight
before you sleep
With so much to be thankful
for how can I
improve the score?
Thanksgiving is only the
start Give
thanks and blessing from the heart.
Ta Ta darlings!!! I’ll be posting again Monday after Thanksgiving with lots of events you won’t
want to miss. Keep in touch www.pollytalk.com or visit www.amazingartdecodivas.blogspot.com .
