Thanksgiving Blessings Rm Poetry Contest

My entry for Regina McIntosh
Thanksgiving Blessings Poetry Contest
Wednesday
27th October 2021


Firstly I am ever so thankful I learned
to tell the time

So I can count my blessings up

Thankful for each individual letter
and word

Thankful for being I am able to write

So I can best try string a poetic sentence
together

Such as

I've never been to America

The closest ive ever got is via
the movie's or my t.v set

So I am basing this solely on

American's seem to do like they
say in Texas

Holiday's and special events bigger 
and better than anyone else

Some we don't even have or celebrate
ourselves like Prom and Thanksgiving
Independence Day 4th if July

Other's meanwhile we do but not
on the same scale as

St Patrick's Day parade in Boston

New Year's Eve in Time's Square

Halloween Trick or Treat

Hopefully eventually 1 day I will get 
to go and experience them 1st hand

And until then they will just have to
remain firmly on top of my Bucket list

Maybe that's the point and what
dreams are all about

Something to look forward to

As my greatest wish or dream
above all else

Is to visit the Big Apple
New York , New York

Because if I can make it there
I can make it anywhere

Giving-Thanks bigger and better

As if I was myself a proud
American
