This is the last week of National Poetry Month. I have thoroughly enjoyed writing daily on my WordPress blog. The prompts gave me something to focus on, so I am thankful for that.

Memorial Day & Monuments
We’ve been to Washington, D.C. three times in the last ten years. The monuments to our fallen soldiers are a sight to appreciate and contemplate. They have made the greatest sacrifice for our way of life – a free life. Perhaps most impressive is the tomb of the unknown soldier, not pictured in today’s piece….
Rainy Greens
