Thanksgiving

Dawn curls her lips shyly this foggy morning

Gone is the twinkling of her pearly white spring

Gone are the greedy songbirds herded away

Their perches now bare of whim and whimsy

Cherish your larder as does the ant who dances

Welcome warmheartedly all of Gravity's prances

He has furies of voids to fill, each moment anew

For the seeds that pull through with you, renew

I like the flow of this poem. And of course I am in the mood for a Thanksgiving poem at this time of year. Thank you, Gilles.

Hello Daniel, Kind words of encouragement from whom I now know to be a most prolific wordsmith. I welcome your art as much as I do your friendship. Take care of your quill. Many, myself included, hope it leaves us more impressions. Stay well my new Friend, Gilles
