Thanksgiving in Cinquain


My PerPoTues poem for November...


Thanksgiving
Family squabbles
Eating until stuffed
Maybe we're the turkeys
Gobble?

*****
Photo by me. (Yes, the turkey has survived several Thanksgivings and is living quite happily on a farm where no one is planning to eat him. I hear he has a girlfriend.)

  1. Ian and I were wondering if that turkey is Marty or Will ??

  3. Christine: There was only one turkey in the pen when I shot those photos, so it must've been Will. I believe Marty died of natural causes before Will left for the farm. (And last time I posted a photo of him, people were very concerned about whether he'd become Thanksgiving dinner - hence the explanation.)

  4. I like this, too. I can't wait to show my tots the picture of a "real" turkey. Thanks for hosting PPT!

  5. Your cinquain is hilarious! I especially like the 'Gobble?' at the end.

    Perfectly Poetical Tuesdays are a great idea. Thanks!

  7. This was also my first time participating in PerPoTues & I found it perfectly delightful! Thanks for hosting! And I love your Thanksgiving cinquain - gobble is exactly what I will be doing with a big plate of food 2 weeks from tomorrow, but who's counting?
