It will all make sense in a moment, but first, here is this month's poetry prompt: Whether or not you celebrate Thanksgiving, November is a good time to stop and count your blessings. As one of my childhood songs says, "A thankful heart is a happy heart..."  So here is your chance to post a poem of thankfulness in the comment section or just write your own. You could e...
