55 Words for Giving Thanks


Turkey
Hunting for you
Gobble, gobble, gob-
ble -ble -ble
GULP!
Ah…

Can’t
wait for my
Thanksgiving feast
When I get to
Flip the bird
Again

Stuffing
Moist, delicious
Stuffing, stuffing, stuffing
To fill turkey full
Dressing
~

Sunshine
Autumn days
Walking, laughing, spinning
Children at merry play
Dancing, singing, living
Family round
Smiles

~Thanks~

Well G-Man,
you can tell what I have on the brain already
Thanksgiving this weekend!
and I have a hankering on for some 
TURKEY!
I shall be bringing 
STUFFING
(Yum)
PICKLES
(that's why I make them don't you know!)
and PIE
(with apples that we gathered on our recent trip to the orchard)

God, I'm hungry now.

 Maybe I will grab an apple while I wait.
Oh, my mixed bag of poetry 
(think I have a little free verse/shaped, cinquain & diamante in there) 
sums up to 55 words as well
in case you were wondering.
BOOK!!!!

What are you up to this weekend?

  4. @Jinksy: What! What are you doing up Penny! Lord, I would be a wreck in the morning being up that time of night. Thanks for stopping in.

    Ps. I am going to try to ride the tandem maybe next week. Got no inspiration thus far with this week's images. Darn. :(

  5. You had me worried. I thought I had an Alzheimer's moment... but it IS October 6 and Thanksgiving is over a month away for us. Is this when Africa celebrates it? And what exactly are they celebrating... not the pilgrims... Either way, sounds like an awesome meal.

  6. You threw me. I forgot for a moment where you lived. Happy T-day my Canadian friend.

  7. @Margaret: Haha! Goodness, I don't mean to confuse people. I am in Canada actually. My story from Africa was an adventure that just lives on in my mind and on the laptop these days. Canadian Thanksgiving is on Monday (really, a better time too, as it is still nice enough outside usually to enjoy the weather, plus fresh produce is still available from the fields).

    I shall be with family dining on pumpkin pie, mashed potatoes and a big fat turkey! Yum. Not going to eat til then. :)
