Thanksgiving For Three

In a small dining room enclosed by three walls, a setting for two. Two candles across from each other lit cast shadows on the ceiling above the crystal chandelier. The round maple table- mirrors and reflects two tall wine glasses half filled with pink Champaign. On folded pink colored napkins three tine forks paired with matching gold handled knives compliment the candle holders. two pure white porcelain plates with saucers with gold trim shine. In the background on the center white wall, a black framed painting of autumn trees sits rectangular. To the left and right are two pedestals each with a bouquet of red roses resting atop. To the wall on the right a curio filled with Swarovski-"Wonders of the sea" Chrystal figures.  To the wall on the left a roman numeral  oval shaped clock with the time showing 4:45 pm.  In the middle of the table is a small roasted turkey. Cranberries, potatoes and stuffing all in separate matching gold trimmed bowls 'round the turkey.  On the dark oak floor, in the middle of the two chairs a golden retriever waits patiently.

Nice painting here... Did you count the words, perhaps close to 1,000 -- then you've got yourself a picture there, my friend. Holiday Happiness, Gershon

Dear Charlie, the scene is beautifully set and I am charmed by your artistic finesse. Your gifted pen paints an intimate portrait of a Thanksgiving dinner made ever more endearing by the golden retriever, who sits between two chairs, waiting patiently. I adore everything about this poem and admire your brilliant poetic skills in bringing it to life - vibrant yet cozy! Warmest wishes and hugs for happy Thanksgiving, my dear friend.. ~Susan
