I Am Thankful For

The world and all its splendor where life begins
Human Beings of all and those who I call friends
America our diverse country and all that she defends
Nights and days of the week especially the weekend
Knowing those who I can count on until the bitter end
Family first is a favorite motto that I often recommend
Underneath the covers and snuggled up to her rear end
Love above all to say the least not fake or pretend

Flowers and trees mixed with the sky and how they blend
Old muscle cars with big motors and a shiny chrome front end
Reading poetry from The Soup often over, and over again

Valsa George Date: 11/27/2024 11:10:00 PM We should be thankful for a number of blessings we receive everyday. "Nights and days of the week especially the weekend". This brought a smile to me. After retirement, I don't look forward to weekends. But while in service, every weekend was so eagerly anticipated. Beautifully written acrostic, dear Brian.

Ink Empress Date: 11/25/2024 4:40:00 AM Dear brian, i see you have love in your heart and appreciation for everything around you and that is a wonderful thing to see and read about, a grateful mindset, beautiful acrostic that flows very well too. My most fave line in this is “ Flowers and trees mixed with the sky and how they blend” what a stunning descriptive line! You have a way with words, and this is no exception, also i wanted to point out soup contest rules state not to mention date or contest sponsor in poem area, so maybe you might want to remove that? As i wouldnt want this to not get recognized because of that. Brilliant heartfelt poem once again. Pleasure reading . Sending you light Login to Reply Brian Davey Date: 11/25/2024 8:41:00 AM HiInky thanks for reading and I have put those footnotes there in every contest I have ever entered I had no idea that it was against contest rules. Now that I think about it I do see it at the top before the poem mostly. Thank you for the heads up and for your kind words, the praise means a lot coming from my favorite Poet!!
