Autumn's Grace
Orange foliage cascading on roads
Extinguishing summer’s passions
Fall winds rising with golden eyes
Inviting feet to kick up their heels
In leaves rising like embers of red
In the fires of autumn whirlwinds
Removing copper coats from trees
To scatter on Thanksgiving tables
Bearing the bounty of our blessings
In the giving of all our thankfulness

~You are so Thoughtful~
Linda,
You are, by far, the most hospitable poet on this blog. You always take the time for others. Your kindness does not go unnoticed. You bring such cheer in your observations and comments. I knew you would like the passion line. You, Linda, are very passionate! I love how you, always, manage to offer kind words to your fellow poets.
You are a delight! Thanks! May Autumn bring beautiful changes to your life!
xoxo

Kathy I feel the same way about you!!!
You ALWAYS take time to give me and other poets a lift in their spirits. And you give warm encouraging comments that always make me smile!!!
It certainly works for me.
I am so happy I have met you Kathy, and everyone here on this site. After one whole year of being here, I still feel like we are one big family.
You are a breath of fresh air!
xoxo

Linda,
It looks like we have each other...and that is worth more than a thousand words. Technology has brought the Showcase poets together from across the globe...and that my friend...is grace.
Joy in the midst of our trials...isn't that the truth?
Blessings,
Kathy
