Somber Thanksgiving-
Hospital bedside mourning
The turkey has passed

O Lord, give me a heart
I can pour out in thanksgiving.
Give me life
So I can spend it
Working for the salvation of the world.

perfectly browned plump beauty
young and old hold hands
memories of times long past

Thanksgiving turkey
Under candle light
Remorseful yet the
Key to thanksgiving is in the name
Early in the mornings
Turkeys had to die

Set out in an upper room,
passover made new;
tender slowly cooked lamb stew,
wine,unleavened bread
with thanksgiving said-
A hymn of
Praise !

Faded photographs
Recall past celebrations,
Moments caught in time.
Thankfully we remember
Loved ones gone to heaven's home.

talk
turns to
thanksgiving
toasts gratitude
replenishing our hearts with memories

thanksgiving is more
more than a dinner to share
we celebrate life
an autumn to be thankful
for all the things we cherish

Light Verse
|
One red candle of dying flame
I pour one glass of Bordeaux, into yesterday
A meal for one, as autumn leaves become undone
A sad clown’s face
Reflects back to me
Thanksgiving is lonely
When all your friends are dead

Autumn’s table set
with one less placemat this year,
dad loved pumpkin pie..
sweet slices of reminisce
satisfies our grateful grief

Free verse

I cannot thank in past tense-
knowing care has not ceased
that this moment is not leased
But granted freely to me.
A fleeting moment already gone
must be in my thanksgiving
consumed, unmindful, in living.

Memorial Day picnic by the lake, listening to the baseball game
Thanksgiving, an indoor feast, screen tuned to the football game
'I guess Thanksgiving is more important than Memorial Day'
volunteered my perspicacious youngest son

Limerick
|
When Joe and Jill went up the hill
To fetch the passage of a bill
The GOP*
Would not agree
Thanksgiving arrived with a chill
* Like China and Russia, Republicans
insist government should be of the PARTY,
by the PARTY and for the PARTY!

Halloween Haiku
(9.7.10)
Suburban parade:
A night to transform yourself,
and beg without shame.
Subsequent morning:
Pillowcases wear make up-
Wrappers and trinkets.
The Thanksgiving porch:
Mouth with one neglected tooth-
The jack-o-lantern.

Rhyme
|
Humming along a country road
dips and curves round every bend
Heading home for the holiday
I know where this dusty road ends...
...at the tip of my fingers
where the keys go click-clack
I'm here for Thanksgiving
~ and I'll never go back

Penultimate month, November
Tending memories’ eternal ember
Sparking thoughts, grand and tender
With honor and thanksgiving to remember
For each who of the human race are a member
