Wonderful set of things to be thankful for
This is wonderful. Well done.
What Dhasheena said!!
A reminder that there is always something to be thankful for. Loved your poem!
Loved the image you picked as well and the rhyming to me made the poem kind of sing-songy. Good work.
A really well-constructed list poem, to begin with and I love the comparisons. A beautiful image, as well.
Great reminder to be thankful and I love your photo too. Stunning.
I can't help but to smile - it is a lot of fine pairs you have put together. Yes, grateful for all this am I too.
