Special Feature: Canadian Thanksgiving Haiku/Tanka

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 poem sequence of selected haiku and tanka about Thanksgiving dinner:

Thanksgiving drive
after the bustle
quiet fields, deep shadows

Harriet S. Bates

thanksgiving
our latest argument
to eat in or out
the blue shrouded mountains
hold the sunset so easily

Thomas Martin

thanksgiving dinner
between mouthfuls
pin-drop silence

Chen-ou Liu

thanksgiving leftovers
all the things we
didn’t say

Sondra Byrnes
