Three Beautiful Things
The heat came on for the first time
this morning. I woke
to the sound of water trickling
through the radiators,
and lay under my quilt,
grateful for the warmth.
Midday today, in a strange town,
I had North Carolina barbeque,
a taste of childhood.
I grinned all through lunch.
As I pulled in my driveway,
two yellow leaves
lay on the hood of my old red Trooper,
the first fallen leaves of autumn.
======================
I wrote this poem as a result of reading in The Three Beautiful Things blog this morning, something I do several times a week. Each day, the author of that blog lists three beautiful things in her life.
