(Image: Untitled, by Helen O'Toole)I am thankful for drizzle.
I am thankful for Italian parsley.
I am thankful for Cedar Grove Compost
I am thankful for punctuation, especially the semi-colon.
I am thankful for the dependant clause.
I am thankful for riffraff, zigzag, rickrack.
For yeast, especially when proofed.
For butter, when cut-in.
For sugar, on the tongue.
For vanilla, in excess.

With gratitude to the parsnip, the rosebud geranium,
the nuthatch. The silkworm. The poem.
I, too, have always particularly loved the semicolon. An entire phrase or thought, separated but essentially connected to the preceding thought, in whatever way the reader wants to conjure.
