Thankful and Poetic Thursday

Thursday means HOPPING with Brian and everyone else who wants to share their “thankfuls” for the week.   If you’d like to HOP too – just click Brian’s badge to visit his blog and link up.    It’s good to voice your thankfuls so you can focus on the positive stuff!

I’m thankful this week that the dangerous storms that so many other people have had this past week – including here in Virginia and in Maryland nearby – have MISSED us.    They are all around us but MISS US – and isn’t that a blessing?    Lots of huge old trees down with the winds and some flooding – but NOT HERE.    I am very thankful and so are my Mom and Dad.

Also thankful Angel Sammy came through with a poem for us this week – did you write one?   If you didn’t you can start this week and share next week with the photo he’ll give us today for inspiration.   Give it a whirl!

Hello Friends and Poets!    

Another Thursday is here and time for us to share poems.   Every week I give you a photographic inspiration to write a poem to share – did you do one this week?   I did………let’s share shall we? 

After I show you my poem I’ll give you ANOTHER photo which you may  use for inspiration to write a poem for NEXT Thursday’s little get-together.   Remember it can be short/long and in any poetic form.   Doesn’t even have to rhyme – just needs to be based on the photos.   FUN???  oh yea!

Here’s the photo from last week and my poem to go with it:

The Fairy Messengers

Poem by Angel Sammy Kimmell      ©August 21, 2019

The messenger fairies arrive to bring the Princess the word

Only she understands – no one else has heard

Her beloved sends his regards and invitation so sweet

For her to steal away at dusk so that they might meet

The fairies receive her response then fly back to the tower

Where the man awaits anxiously for the appointed hour

The lovers meet as planned in the garden of green

As fairies and butterflies make sure they’re not seen…………….

When I saw this painting I thought it was quite magical – and so many things came to mind as to what to write – I tucked all those thoughts away and decided to write a poem at the last minute instead of thinking about it all week.    I hope you got the same sense of magic when you saw the picture and I’m anxious to see what you wrote!   Please tell us in comments if you wrote a poem – give us a link to your poem OR if you prefer, just write your poem out in a comment!    Either way, let’s SHARE!

Here’s your photo to use for NEXT Thursday’s poetic get-together…………………..let it inspire you – take you somewhere special in your imagination and allow you to create a poem to go with the photo.

Have fun with this one……………….I  love it.   I’ll look forward to seeing what you THINK of it with your words.

I am the Angel Poet in the green beret…..and I hope you join me for POETIC FUN each week!

Until next week – be kind and caring – you will get it back!    Love, Angel Sammy

Thank you Angel Sammy……sending hugs……

Love, Teddy
