Thankful and Poetic Thursday

Here we go again – it’s THURSDAY and time for us to share our Thankfuls on Brian’s Hop (click above to visit and link up) AND then we’ll share some poetry that we wrote this past week based on Angel Sammy’s photo that he provided for our inspiration!

Thankful this past week for the fact that even though we got snow – 2 or 3 inches of it – Mom and Dad did NOT have to go anywhere so we all stayed home together and had a big fire in the fireplace and just relaxed instead of trying to get out and about.    Not many people did since they closed school and local businesses here.    I kept Mom and Dad company as much as I could between my OWN naps.    It was just nice family time.    I’m always thankful for that!

Now we’ll share the email we got from Angel Sammy with his poem AND another photo for NEXT week!

Hi Friends!  It’s me – from the Bridge!

Here we are on another Thursday sharing poetry.    Last week’s photo that I gave to you seemed to stir a lot of emotion in everyone – that guy climbing up that girder in the stratosphere (!) gave everyone a case of the dizzies but let’s see how it did to inspire some poetry shall we?    

Those of you who are new to Poetic Thursday need to know that we get together and share a poem based on a photo I’ve given you for inspiration – we have a whole week to write a poem then we share them and get a NEW photo from ME for the following Thursday.   Yep – a whole week to write something.   I think I give very reasonable deadlines unlike some editors do!  HAHAHA

So, here’s the photo from last week that I gave you followed by MY poem – if you wrote one let us know you did in our comments (or you can write the poem IN comments!) and tell us the link where we can read your poetry.  

“Only Birds”

Poem by Angel Sammy Kimmell    ©January 9, 2020

Up in the clouds high above the city

Falling from up there would NOT be pretty

Only birds should be up that high

Or satellites or planes in the sky

Imagine being up there doing some work

Hopefully good life insurance is one of his perks!

I know some people like to live on the edge

But don’t ask ME to go out on a ledge.

It’s not that I’m afraid of heights

Up in a high rise wouldn’t give me “the frights”

But hanging on a girder while working away

Would certainly cause me to pray, pray, pray!!

 

That photo kind of makes my Mom dizzy just looking at it……………I hear ya Mom………….when I was a little kitten I  know you and Dad remember that I was outside with you and a big dog came running into our back yard and chased me up a tree – I went WAY UP the tree and you tried to talk me into coming down while Dad put the big dog in our garage long enough to come out, get a ladder and climb up to SAVE ME!   He tucked me in his jacket and came down.    That was my last “UP IN THE SKY” adventure.    Teddy likes climbing up to the top of his cat tree but that’s not really HIGH.    I think it’s best that we kitties and pups stay “ground-bound” !!!

How about next week’s photo?    We will have a week to write a poem using this one then meet next Thursday to see how we did……….ready?

The little boy seems to totally not recognize who that little baby with the grownup haircut is in the mirror – or maybe it’s his first mirror experience PERIOD???    Anyway, I love this photo – let’s see what we can all do with it shall we!

Hope you have started your 2020 off with a bang.   Things are popping here at the Rainbow Bridge……………..we still have time to keep a close eye on all of you down there though……..you are missed…………….

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

I’ll look forward to seeing you here next week!!!    

Hugs, Angel Sammy

Thanks for visiting Angel Sammy……I miss you too!   Love, Teddy

Before we go today we want to say we lost a sweet and dear friend yesterday – Prancie – beloved kitty at 15andMeowing who had serious health issues, decided yesterday was her day to make the journey to the Rainbow Bridge.   Her Mom and Dad are very sad of course and won’t be blogging for a few days but you could visit and leave words of support if you want to HERE.   Safe journey Prancie – you spent your life with great love and left it with great love.
