Glowing Embers #gratiku

This month I am celebrating with the #TeachWrite community for the month of November by writing a haiku or other small poem each day about things for which I am grateful. They may not all appear in this space, but gratitude will prevail. I invite you to join me.

We have a large fireplace in our home, and it was the one thing (besides a basement!) that I required when we built our house. So many memories, dreams, and hours of simply staring into the mesmerizing flames happen in front of my favorite place.

red embers glowing

wood smoke drifting, heaven-bound

warming hearts and souls

My children loved Halloween, even up through their high school years. I remember nights of trick-or-treating in the snow and rain, in freezing temperatures, and in too-hot-for-costumes temperatures. This weekend was the perfect Halloween weekend thanks to the weather and the beautiful moon.
