My Dear Friends:
Today is Thanksgiving Day in Canada (occurring on the second Monday in October and six weeks earlier than Thanksgiving Day in the USA)
Share with you a set of selected Thanksgiving haiku/tanka:
a slight edge
to the migrant's voice
Happy Thanksgiving
Chen-ou Liu
a colleague wishes me
Thanksgiving cheer --
but I have
a desk full of dark
anniversaries unspoken
M. Kei
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 leftovers
all the things we
didn’t say
Sondra Byrnes
To conclude today's Thanksgiving post, I share with you the following (ironic/comic) pandemic Thanksgiving haiku, which is written in response to the advice from Canada's chief public health officer, Dr. Theresa Tam: hosting small gatherings and being mindful of people’s vaccination status.
Two Hundred and Seventy-Second Entry, Coronavirus Poetry Diary
Thanksgiving buffet
dining tables six feet apart
under the same roof
Wishing You and Yours a Safe and Joyful Thanksgiving
And Happy Reading
Chen-ou
