I Am Thankful For

I am thankful for clouds, earth, stars and sky. Spiritual goodness and grace of outside. Grateful for diversity, far and wide. Children who respectfully question why. I am thankful for a keen sense of creativity, For imagination, and a liveliness to play. I am thankful for a flexible proclivity, With every single fiber and in every way. I am thankful for health, and in the right to be free Thankful for God’s blessings bestowed on me. Grateful for the variety of people I can readily be. Most of all, I am thankful for the opportunity to be me. Written 11-14-2018 Contest: Thankful Poetry Contest, Enclosed Rhyme Sponsor: Tania Kitchin

Thank you. I do truly throw my poetry every which way, just because it is nice for the contest-holders when the contest FINALLY fills up.

I have done enough of them to realize that every poem I get is great, it is awful to have to not choose them all but we have to choose our favs at that second.

Thank you P.S. I take contests not too seriously as I know that all the poems that come in are terrific, and it is simply a matter of choice that minute, that day, for one weird reason or another. Luck of the moment, as oranges and fire trucks cannot be compared.
