Tonight's Poet Corner: Sonnet Solstice #63

I Wish We Had Thanksgiving by Belinda Roddie I wish we had Thanksgiving every day - think of the turkey, mashed potatoes, pies, and all the other goodies served our way. I'd get to see my family each night, with bottles of wine emptying into tall glasses, conversation going strong as we recall memories we've gone through and reminisce and laugh all evening long. But do I need such an enormous meal each day? And truly, isn't Thanksgiving all year already? Yes, it's true, it's real, when you think about it, 'cause here's the thing: As long as you give thanks and still recall your loved ones, it's Thanksgiving after all.

Today's OneWord: Late

I was late for Thanksgiving dinner, but Chad didn't mind. He pulled up a spare chair for me, the half-eaten turkey waiting for me to demolish it further. "I'm sorry," I said as he started loading my plate with goodies. "Don't worry about it," he replied, smiling. "I know it's tough for you right now." The mashed potatoes were sticky with gravy and I savored every bite. I didn't realize how hungry I was. "I'll make it up to you." "Happy Thanksgiving, Ron."
