Today..












Thankfulness and gratitude are the subject for today's prompt at dversepoets.com




On this morning's ferry ride to meet family..
...sun shone on the passage                                                                                      
 as a seagull gliding I did see









Slow cooked apples with caramel,
cranberries, walnuts, turkey roast -
pass before my eyes,
under my nose













Pine cones sitting by a fire,
winds take my breath away -
Our cups runneth over
especially today




And I stop the car
to take in this beautiful sight -
a rainbow now by the river
on my way

Three signs for me that shout out -
it's Thanksgiving Day,
so take notice of all earthly delights

  6. Halcyon sweet, greeting the gulls, inhaling the pine cone scent, daydreaming of the sustenance to come, completing the ellipse of the rainbow with your own smile; lovely, touching, wonderful.

  13. Very true Kathy. One normally misses out on normal occurrences but the poet in us is different. Poets notice every day matters that others take for granted. Being observant one becomes adept at describing them well. Wonderful write and great pics. Happy Thanksgiving Ma'am!
