Scribbles and Scrambles ~ Chirp…Chirp


chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp

small Thanksgiving poem. (lame, silent, like an e) 

I think I will take poetic license

and call it a haiku.

My little Thanksgiving haiku. Note. Poetic license has been around longer than haiku so poetic license trumps.

The Thanksgiving crickets chirp because I have nothing to say today. And I have a long shopping and to do list and a few things to accomplish to make Thanksgiving smell and taste yummy.

So. With no more ado. Here's to a wonderful Thanksgiving to you and yours. I hope you find joy in the interaction you have with loved ones, or in connecting with new friends. I hope you find more than food for the belly and instead find gratitude and growth in the upcoming year.
