My Dear Friends:
Today is Canadian Thanksgiving Day (occurring on the second Monday in October and six weeks earlier than American Thanksgiving Day)
Share with you a set of selected Thanksgiving haiku/tanka:
thanksgiving --
overflowing with children
of children
Susan Murata
Thanksgiving drive
after the bustle
quiet fields, deep shadows
Harriet S. Bates
a colleague wishes me
Thanksgiving cheer --
but I have
a desk full of dark
anniversaries unspoken
M. Kei
Thanksgiving alone:
ordering eggs and toast
in an undertone
Nick Virgilio
Thanksgiving alone
a turkey pot pie
in the microwave
Chad Robinson
Thanksgiving dinner
my ex sits in the back
of my mind
Chen-ou Liu
thanksgiving leftovers
all the things we
didn’t say
Sondra Byrnes
