Happy Thursday and Happy St. Patrick’s Day. Shall we be THANKFUL together? Sure we shall…………….if you wanna add your blog to the HOP, just click Brian’s badge and link up with us.
Very thankful that Brian’s Dad is feeling better after his emergency appendectomy. I’m sure the kitties are taking good care of him. I will be VERY HAPPY when one day I can say I’m THANKFUL that the Ukrainian people are no longer in the middle of a hideous war………..I guess I have to wait for that to happen first to be thankful but we ALL will be thankful then.
Also thankful that Angel Sammy sent me his poetic challenge message – I’ll share it with you below!

Hi Thursday Poem Friends!
I always look forward to Thursdays so I can spend a little time sharing poetry with you. Remember, you don’t have to be a fabulous writer to write a poem…..you just have to write it down and be proud of it! LOL I think writing a poem about something you are looking at (in our case a photo) is EASIER than just plucking words out of the air with nothing particular in mind. This way you can look at the photo and you will automatically start thinking of an idea which automatically leads you to words which automatically becomes a poem – in ANY form (and there are lots of poetic forms!).
So here’s last week’s photo that I gave you a WEEK to write a poem about – followed by my poem:
“Escape Hatch”
Poem by Angel Sammy Kimmell ©March 16, 2022
“Little guy I do believe your big puppy you should thank
Cuz if you made it through that door you’d probably get a spank!
Rover knows that door is for him when he needs to go out to potty
Something tells me if you’re joining him, Mom would say you’re naughty!
But I really must admit in spite of it all you two look extremely cute
Just promise us you won’t try that trick on the upstairs laundry chute!?”
Ahhh…..boys will be boys and those little doors are just too darn tempting not to at least TRY to wiggle through and head out on an adventure. Especially if we see our dogs or cats using their “doors in the door” to go outside. It’s just TOO tempting!
If you wrote a poem about the photo above – please share the link to your blog or poem in our COMMENTS so we can read and enjoy it!
Now for next week’s poetic challenge photo…………….try this one on for size:
I realized today that I tend to use a lot of photos with kids in them…..well, kids are cute and they do some pretty funny things so that’s my excuse! This one I just love the look on her face as she glides along.
So I’ll see you next Thursday and we’ll share out poems about this photo OK? OK! It’s a date!

I am the Angel Poet in the green beret…..and I hope you join me for POETIC FUN each week!
Yes I just happen to have my St. Patrick’s green beret on!
Love and light, Angel Sammy O’Kimmell

I will be thankful too when the Ukrainians are safe again. I made up a parcel to go there and it left early Monday morning in a large van with along with other donations from the people of Plymouth. Today he put an update on FB that he arrived safely on the Ukraine border. He also added some photos showing all the parcels being unloaded into a school where it goes on to where it is needed. The photos also show the rows of refugees sitting in chairs waiting their turn to get on the buses to take them to safety in Poland. It is heartbreaking to see.
Lovely poem as always, Angel Sammy.

Bless you for sending a package to the Ukrainian people along with the other donations from Plymouth. I’m so glad the person transporting got there safely and securely. It is heartbreaking – and desperately sad. i think the rest of the world is in a constant state of prayer hoping for some sort of resolution. Glad you liked the poem today – it was a fun photo to do a poem for.

Your poem is wonderful! My children used to try to go through the giant doggie door at Grandma’s house. We’re glad it just led to the porch (it was for the prior owner’s dog and Grandma made the porch a spare room).
