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
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
sounds like you are in for a beautiful thanksgiving...

ReplyDeleteAh.. you too do write about and are blessed to be in such a lovely area of water and sun..

Your Thanksgiving truly is beautiful...:)
ReplyDeleteHalcyon 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.
ReplyDeleteTake notice of all earthly delights--and how well you share them in poetry and photo. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteI love the simplicity, yet strength, of your Thanksgiving gratefulness, Kathy. The great beauty of nature is certainly somehting to be thankful for, as is a nice meal shared with family.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of taking time to take note of all the earthly delights...really we have so much to be thankful for...including that beautiful rainbow you mentioned!
ReplyDeleteOur blessings are found in all that surrounds us. This is truly a lovely capture!
ReplyDeleteYour photos are as much a part of your poem as the words. Certainly a lot of beauty in this world!
ReplyDeleteBeing thankful for what we have around us is a sign of our awareness of the beauty that surrounds us.
ReplyDeleteVery 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!
