It's once again Thanksgiving Day.
The time of year when people say
that they are thankful in some way
for something special on this day.
But for the family I hold dear
I am thankful throughout the year.
Now, I think this poem's short and sweet
yet Cynthia might say it's incomplete.
Too add more could be a feat
so I'll give three cheers for turkey meat.
If the dressing is too dry
I'll try not to let them hear me sigh.
For dessert I'll give a cry
for Susan's special mystery pie.
My sister Cheryl isn't here
so I'm going to kick her in the rear.
Author notes
The girls mentioned are my older sisters. I once read a short poem to Cynthia. When I finished there was silence. I asked "Didn't you not like it?" She said "Well, your poems are usually so long I was waiting for the rest. I like it but it needs more." I promptly added more. Cheryl was unable to be with us that year and I didn't want her to feel left out. Susan had told me she was baking a mystery pie and I had to guess what it was. When I looked at it I said "Yeah right. It's pumpkin. That's obvious." She said I'd better taste it first. "Like I said it's pumpkin." I stated after devouring a slice. She assured me it wasn't. Can you guess what kind of pie looks and tastes exactly like pumpkin? If you know for sure don't say in your comment. I don't want to give away the secret. Instead message me the answer. Extra points will be given for the correct answer. Happy Thanksgiving!

I like thanksgiving a lot so I especially enjoy reading a poem about it and the incorporation of the family adds a personal aspect to it that makes it more appealing. And I understand the stuffing being to dry though mine is always made seperate because I am vegetarian. Well I am thinking I know what kind of pie it is so I messaged it. Well tell me if I was write and good poem.

Thank you
I'm glad you enjoy Thanksgiving and I hope you had a wonderful one. I think family is a big part of Thanksgiving. My family is one of the things I am most grateful for. Truthfully, I've never liked stuffing. It's just a filler on my plate if I have to. I just felt like the poem needed a little stuffing so it would be fuller. Yes pun intended, corny as it was. Thanks again for the comment and the compliment.

Thank you
For taking the time to leave a quick comment after reading my poem. I really appreciate that. I'm always telling people that even the simple ones are a welcomed sight. This really is true. I was stuffed too. I made sure not to fix to big of a plate of food so I wouldn't over do it this year. However, then I went back for a peice of my pumpkin pie, and then a peice of chocolate pie, and then a peice of cherry pie. Of course I couldn't hurt my sisters feelings who had brought brownies so I had a couple of those. My neice could have been in tears if I didn't eat some of the cookies she made and I wouldn't want to make her cry so I ate some of those. Oh...why does my belly hurt? I fixed such a small plate of food!

LOL....
I like this poem!!!! But it looks like it's unfinished. I think you need to add some few more. You need to add an ending cuz ur ending looks like it's not the ending. But again, good rhyming and stanza. First, I REALLY don't know what Thanksgiving is and your poem explained it to me. I'll look forward to your edit or the words that you'll add. Again, keep writing!!!!!

Thank you
I'm glad you enjoyed it. I appreciate your comment. This is a true story poem so I don't know what else I would add. I'll think about it and if I add something you will be the first to know. How's that. To me Thanksgiving is about being thankful for the many blessings we have and family is usually one of the biggest blessings. Thanks again. I hope you had a great Thanksgiving.
