Giving Thanks in Rhyme

Giving Thanks is theme for the open mic poetry reading at The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, 4550 S. Maryland Pkwy., on Tuesday night. My mother and I are going. We have not attended a poetry reading in over a year. My mother misses going to readings. I miss going to readings.

Giving thanks in rhyme
writing gratitude's stanzas
God is generous.

The poetry reading begins at 7:00 PM, which means we will have to leave the house between 6:00 and 6:30 PM. The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf on Maryland Pkwy is about fifteen or twenty minutes away depending on traffic. The traffic on Maryland is heavy especially about 6:00 PM.

With my new glasses
I don't mind driving at night
put my trust in God.
