Thanksgiving Is In The Air

A feeling of Thanksgiving dances through the air...

Hello to all AD Readers...I hope that each of you have a great Thanksgiving Day and I do hope each of you will receive blessings of happiness, joy, and love. God bless each of you...Happy Thanksgiving!


A feeling of Thanksgiving dances through the air,
gusts stir the leaves, sending them here and there,
a cool briskness of air chills our spines,
once lively ivy lies dead and curled on the vine.

A few leaves grip tight to bare trees,
like they can't think about going free.
Underbrush bends their weary heads,
not wanting to lay dormant like they are dead.

A buck poses across the field...stares this way,
as a wild turkey struts, causing his tail to sway.
Bare trees stand stripped of their colorful clothes,
praying for spring to come and for winter to go.

White clouds boogie across the blue sky,
black birds perch in trees way up high.
An aroma of authum leaves permeate the air,
a breeze parts and messes up my hair.

Leaves crunch and grumble under my feet,
dried moss clings like ticks...looking bleak.
A Tom Turkey sashways along my way,
I aim and shoot...win him as my prey.

There'll be meat on the table Thanksgiving Day,
I'm thankful ole Tom wandered along my way.
We'll give thanks and blessings with bowed heads,
It hurts my heart to see ole Tom on the platter dead.

A most visual and incredible portrayal of the season. At least it was Tom not "Tomasine".

God bless you. Kathy

Nevertheless, ole Toms flesh will be gnawed upon and savored and delighted in, and we will extract from his rump delectable stuffing and drench it with mouth-watering gravy. Yummy!

Your salutations and benisons are filled with love and graciousness. What a wonderful spirit you have dear Barbara, and your fine imagery and simile is soothing and filled with the essences of the season.

Love these phrases - 'lively ivy', and 'Leaves crunch and grumble under my feet,'

Thanksgiving blessings to you and yours ...
Richard
