A Writer's Thankful Thursday: A Poem
I am thankful for
a summer haiku blowing
through the olive trees.

I am thankful for
the ode the olive tree sings
to the afternoon sun.

I am thankful for
the aromatic sonnet
of a blooming rose.

I am thankful

1 for the cooling rain that leaves a puddle in my driveway,
2 that the dead limb on the pine tree has not fallen off,
3 for the birds that scratch in the weeds in my front yard,
4 that oleander's bloom all year round,
5 for the container of 2% milk in my refrigerator,
6 that I have hot sauce to put in my tomato juice,
7 for electricity to run my computer,
8 that I have reliable internet access,
9 for macaroni and cheese,
10 that I am not depressed this afternoon.
