Poetry: Thanksgiving


Cold, wet November

Blustery winds and cozy houses

Backpacks filled with construction paper turkeys

And pilgrim songs


Wednesday, excitement abounds

Finally, it's tomorrow

We'll get up early to watch the parade!

We'll dress up, go to Grandma's and have a feast!


The day dawns

Raining again

Turn on the parade

How many snoopy floats and marching bands can you watch

Turn it off..

Time at last for Grandma's

Big smiles, hugs, yummy smells

Two parts of a family, together

To give thanks


Polite conversation, sometimes strained

Different cultures see life in different ways

Tummies full, tummies hurt

Everyone's tired, tensions run high

Kids are crying, in laws disapproving

The day is over.

Time for home and bed.

Thankgoodness...
