Poetry Challenge #219 Two Scoops of Gratitude!

Gobble Gobble Gobble! That’s what I’ll be doing tomorrow. Maybe you, too? Or maybe you’ve already enjoyed a Thanksgiving feast and will be going in for seconds…or thirds. Regardless of what you’ll eat, where you’ll go, what you’ll do, or whether you’ll celebrate alone or with other, let’s take a moment to reflect on reasons we have to give thanks. (For if you are reading this, then like me, you do have reasons.)

Spotted this rafter of turkeys strutting around our backyard last week. When I said our local B-Ball team “The Gobblers” was warming up, a friend wrote “you mean ‘pre-heating’!” Gobble-gobble!

Poetry Challenge #219

 Two Scoops of Thanks

Write a poem of thanks. For? or To whom? is up to you.

The poem must be at least twelve words long—one word beginning with each letter of the word T-H-A-N-K-S-G-I-V-I-N-G.

Yes, it can be longer.

Yes, you can include words that begin with other letters, too.

Yes it can rhyme. . . No it doesn’t have to.

 When you’ve finished, take a moment to polish your poem so you can share it—perhaps later, with pie!

Don’t Think About it, just do it!

Happy Thanksgiving! I am grateful for your support!

Cindy Faughnan and I began this 7-Minute Poetry Challenge 2000+ days ago. Now we take turns creating prompts to share with you. Our hope is that creatives—children & adults—will use our prompts as springboards to word play time. If you join us in the Challenge, let us know by posting the title, a note, or if you want, the whole poem in the comments.
