Here is the Verse First Prompt:

WALK IN GRATITUDE

Today’s is another simple prompt. Take a walk. On that walk, observe your surroundings with an eye of gratitude. When you return to your writing-table, quickly write down your observations, then refine them; burn away the dross to reveal a poem that will imbue your readers with gratitude, too.
Look out
upon this bare world
cold, snow etched horizon
life stripped by season’s storm
where hides the sun?
*
 I sit in reflection
scanning my forest
I walk in this dream
never to awaken
to cold cruelty again
*
I watch life
it smiles at me
So Thankful
to have lived
to see this day
fall's creatures
To each of you  I wish hope for a time of Thanksgiving. Enjoy time to spend in warmth with friends and family.

Day worth living (a poem for jingle)

by moondustwriter, posted in Poetry

Day might be gray

may not be bright

not only based

on the look at first sight

Last night was dark

I have to say

had nothing to do

with the absence of ray

Ran to the hospital

knew things weren’t right

my child was listless

eyes had no light

There were moments

no response

could not believe

could this be my loss?

Life is a question

day in and day out

today I am grateful

so thankful

want to shout

***Today I am truly grateful to God.  I brought my girl home from the hospital.
