A Thanksgiving (2009) Celebration Poem by Walterrean Salley
A Thanksgiving (2009) Celebration
Thanksgiving, appropriately hailed,
Is a tradition that has long prevailed.
Joining hearts to honor the day,
Celebrating in a grateful way.
Greeting the old, welcoming the new.
Embracing kinfolks—not a few.
Chatting, while putting names to faces.
And humbly bowing to sweet graces.
Then shooting photos—less we forget,
And the moments fade, and we regret.
Last line and specifically the last word made this one a meaningful composition. Crafted well.
wonderful portraying of a close-to-heart event well all face, at least once in a life time. Thanks for reminiscing of an unforgettable moment of ours too. I enjoyed.
nice thanksgiving event. one of my favorite holidays along with Christmas. nice ink
A fine gentle write that sums up all such holidays. Nicely done.
This hits me almost like a painting, Norman Rockwell, perhaps.A sweet, caring, sharing poem, Thank you for this moment
Thanks for giving thanksgiving a face lift and a poetic touch. Such celebrations will fine tune the human relationships otherwise torn by color creed caste racial religious and other earthy over tones Am I correct Salley? -KAVIN CHARALAN
