THANKSGIVING IN POETIC NEW YORK
It would not 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!!!
THINGS I AM THANKFUL FOR © by Polly Guerin
Once dressed in autumn blaze
the trees enter a silent phase
Piles of crisp leaves cover the ground
a walk in the woods, a crackling sound
Flocks of geese honking goodbye overhead
the frost of winter nips 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.
TaTa darlings!!! I'll be posting again on Monday after Thanksgiving with lots of events you won't want to miss. Keep in touch www.pollytalk.com or visit my blogs www.amazingartdecodivas and www.thefashionhistorianpollyguerin, both @blogspot.com. Fan mail to: pollytalk@verison.net.
