    A snarky political poem about a scenario that would make me thankful.

    Day 23 #OctPoWriMo2020
    Yes, I am grateful for being blessed with joys, big and small that always point out to the fact that there is Goodness and faith. I am grateful for my loved ones who love me unconditionally for who I am. Today’s poem is based on this wonderful feeling of gratefulness and although words cannot suffice, this is my humble tribute to all who have made my life so beautiful.

    To You, My Lovely Family and Friends. This is for YOU.

    Still working on catching up. I will come back and comment here on your poems. I'm having weird issues with commenting on your sites.

    Just a little poem called "Gratitude 'Light'" that allowed me to practice writing my first Pantoum.

    Thank you for this polishing of skills. It is my niece's (Autumn Grace) birthday and when I went to simply comment this came out:

    Grace is full of grace not arrogant
    A.G. defines grace its appearant
    God's grace is mercy and love
    Also power to accomplish, from above
    Grace is favour a pleasing quality
    Helpfulness to those in need
    She is autumn quickly changing
    Color pallette rearranging
    Enriching Thanksgiving like a feast
    On the full moon shes kind of a beast
    Father God, I love this girl
    Irritations can create a pearl

    This had been a hard day for me. I had started writing a poem about gloom. But then I thought I need to write a magic spell to lift this gloom away. So I did. It turns out to be something I am grateful for: friends that help you lift your spirits up when you feel down. Aren't they the best?
    Sorry, the text in the image is blurry, but it's posted next to it.
