Thankful and Poetic Thursday

Well we made it to Thursday – just in time for Brian’s THANKFUL Blog Hop………………hope you have your list of thankfuls ready – if you’re ready to link up you can use the above badge to go to his blog and link if you like!

I’m super thankful this week that we had three MAGICALLY BEAUTIFUL days after days and days of heat and humidity and smoke.    There is rain in the forecast the next few days in the afternoon/evening but they say that all the time – I think it’s wishful thinking – not accurate forecasting!   Anyway, it’s August – and August in the Washington DC area is always STICKY.     I’m also thankful that Mom and Dad have taken me out even on the uncomfortable days so I can wander around and grab a snooze in the bushes while they watch over me.    Yes I’m spoiled – isn’t everybody?   Tee Hee

Now let’s switch tracks and talk about poetry.    Angel Sammy’s poem and a new photo for next week got through the smoky atmosphere and arrived in an email last night.   I’m sharing it with you below!    Have a super Thursday.

Hugs, Teddy

Hi Poetry Pals!

It’s our day – time to share some poetry with each other.    I had some notes this week passed on to me by my brother on Earth Teddy which said some of you thought the photo was “tough” that I gave you for a poem to write this week.   Well, guess what – I thought it was too but I managed to squeeze a poem out anyway.    If you did, tell us in my comments and either give us your link, or write your poem right there in the comment area for us to read………..SHARE!

Here’s the photo from last week and my poem:

“Twins”

Poem by Angel Sammy Kimmell      ©August 1, 2023

Two birthday photos from years ago

Looking at these most of you wouldn’t know

That the photo on the left was the year I had mumps

No party for me – I was down in the dumps!

He was sad I wasn’t there so Mom put on extra candles

In fact too many for a young boy’s breath to handle

The photo on the right is when we turned two

I was upset at him for not waiting for ME before he blew!

We’ve had our squabbles and fights and moans

But having a twin means we’re never alone……………

 

That was a very tough photo wasn’t it.   I’m sure you can tell that even I had a struggle putting something together.    I hope to do better next week.     I promise!   Don’t forget to let us know if you wrote a poem this week.     Here’s next week’s challenge – I don’t think it’s as tough as this one was!!

Urban sprawl from the air……………..cookie cutter houses like soldiers lined up – I guess it’s the most efficient use of the land – but – well – it lacks something doesn’t it?!?!?!    So this is the photo for next week – I think we can come up with a poem for this one don’t you?

Meanwhile have a wonderful week – be kind to one another – be patient – be a FRIEND to someone who needs one!

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
