Poetry Pantry #381

A Late Autumn Walk

on "Black Friday"

Greetings, Poet Friends.  Hope those of you who celebrated Thanksgiving had a good one. It is tradition here for the day after Thanksgiving to be called "Black Friday," and stores have special sales that attract hordes of shoppers.   However, rather than shopping on this frantic day we went hiking in a nearby state park along the  Ice Age Trail. This trail runs 1200 miles through the state of Wisconsin.  After exploring the trail, we went to nearby Delafield and walked around.  It is a charming little town.

And now, back to poetry.  Thanks to those of you who participated in Midweek Motif, where Sumana's theme was 'The Flower Rose.'   Return this coming Wednesday, and write a poem for Susan's theme 'Bittersweet.'

If you have not read Sherry's article for The Living Dead -  featuring Canadian poet Pat Lowther & her poem 'Woman,' please go back to the article.  Sherry didn't mention it, but the poet's daughter Christine is a very good friend of hers & a good poet as well!  (Sherry has taken over for Rosemary for a couple weeks, but Rosemary will be back again THIS coming Friday!)

Monday Sherry will be sharing a blog update with a very familiar poet.  Do check back!

Just a heads up to everyone:  Poets United will be taking a holiday break in December.  We will have a Poetry Pantry on December 17.  Then we will have about two weeks off to give us all a bit of a break.  Smiles.  We will resume again on December 31, the last day of the year, for those who are interested in ending the year with a sharing of poetry!

With no further delay, let's share poetry!  Link your poem below.  Stop in the comments and say hello! And visit the poems of those who link.  I look forward to seeing you on the trail.
