Thankful and Poetic Thursday

Happy Thankful Thursday.   It’s also Poetic Thursday but we’ll get to that after we talk about thankfuls!    First of all you know by now that our host for this Hop is Brian and you can link up with him for the Thankful Hop by clicking the badge above and using the link he gives you.    It’s a great chance to not only read other bloggers’ thankfuls but to include your own.   

I have been VERY thankful that our Christmas tree is up and I am able to nap under it – which I LOVE LOVE LOVE to do.   I drape myself around the presents and on top of the railroad track because Dad always makes sure I’m not on the track when he runs the choo choo train under the tree.    

We’re all thankful that so far we have had NO SNOW or ICE here.   We usually have our first snow by the end of November – this year the weather has been weird in many places including here.   We’ve had tons of rain and a lot of COLD COLD and windy days but no snow.   

I’m also thankful for all the Christmas cards we’ve received so far.   We are mostly getting e-cards this year because lots of people including US are trying to save on postage!   It’s the THOUGHT that counts anyway – not the form of greeting right?

Now on to my email from Angel Sammy with his poem for the week.   Ready to read it?

Hello Poetic Friends…..it’s time for poetry!

Hope you’ve had a good week since we last met…….it’s a busy time of the year down where you are isn’t it.   Up here at the Rainbow Bridge we are getting ready for our annual Angel Fly-In where all Angels get together for the holiday and share memories of our families and we talk about ways we keep in touch with our families.   We ALL keep in touch but we use different ways.    BUT I still have time for writing a poem and doing this blog post once a week and I can’t wait to see if you’ve used the photo prompt I gave you last week to write a poem yourself!

Here’s my poem to go with the “inspirational” photo:

“Wishful Thinking”

Poem by Angel Sammy Kimmell    ©December 7, 2022

 

So this little door belongs to our cat

He barely fits through – he’s kinda fat

The best I can do is to grab some fresh air

Looking around and wishing I was “there”

When I was just a pup I could use the door

But now that I’m huge, that works no more

I’ll settle now for a nice breath of outside

Getting stuck in this hole would destroy my pride!

 

Well at least this guy is able to SORT of enjoy the outside.    Maybe his owner will see his predicament and take him for a walk so that ALL of him can enjoy some fresh air.   The SAFEST place for pets is inside but believe me – most of us would LOVE a chance to be out exploring our world.   

Now here’s the photo I found for all of us to use for writing a poem for NEXT week’s fun………….hope you like it and will write a poem based on the photo!

 

Well checking your baggage is one thing but………….!!

So my friends, until next week when we get together again – enjoy your holiday shopping and preparation – it’s a most wonderful time of the year………………

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

Love and Light, Angel Sammy
