POETRY FRIDAY- A FOUND POEM 



Today.
A redorangeyellow
Autumn Friday.

So what to do?

Two things,
it seems to me.

At least two.

Use up
each day.

Fill it
overflowing
with good.
Deliberately
enjoy it.

Two, begin now.

Mend a fractured friendship,
mail an overdue letter,
repair a broken heart,
lay aside a griveance,
act on a noble impulse.

As we all know,
"The night cometh".

Lanny Henninger

    I love fall! The colors, the cool air, the poetry, the picture books, the sports...

    And, the fact that soon it will be Christmas... then Easter... and all the reminders of what is good and blessed in the world!

    Oh, Carol, this is gorgeous. Thank you for sharing it. I especially love

    A redorangeyellow
    Autumn Friday.

    and

    mail an overdue letter,
    repair a broken heart,

    As if repairing a broken heart is as simple a task as mailing a letter. But in some ways, maybe, the choice to do so is just that simple.

    Thanks for a lovely poem that made me think!
