    Great to be back on the island with all of you stowaways! 🙂
    I have just published on my blog a satirical poem on technology and Thanksgiving. It’s called “Happy Textgiving.” Drop by when you get a chance! Best wishes!

    Last week, I could not think and hence my absence.
    I hope you like my take of the prompt:

    Mine’s too small to put on my blog. But Gratitude, too, to Writers Island for keeping our muses working.

    Gratitude

    As natural as breathing
    thankfulness flows
    from the act of giving

    I did an acrostic poem.
    I also give it a not so very clever title. 🙂
    maybe I’ll change that later.

    For some reason I found this one really difficult and it took me days to digest it and produce something, but here it is:
