Turkey day Haiku chain...with gravy please

[Ganesha]

from the field I watch
wild turkeys roam and graze
appetite wetted

[Haggis]

From the couch I smell
Turkey, stuffing, apple pie
drool drips on my shirt

[Dee]

Drool drips on my shirt
Followed by cranberry sauce
How sloppy I am

[Haggis]

How sloppy I am
Gravy stains on my new shirt
Pass the stuffing, please


Forgot the rules in my earlier post. :Shrug:

[Dee]

Pass the stuffing, please
It's my favorite, you know
My mom makes it best

[Ganesha]

My mom makes it best
smashed potatoes with creamy
brown gravy-pass em

[PrettySpecialGal]

brown gravy-pass em
over here, then keeps going
No more? Time to sleep

[Gunpowder Nash]

no more time to sleep
must get up and stuff the bird
bake some bread and pies

[Jayne]

bake some bread and pies
and cook tofurky for me
served up with green beans

[Haggis]

Served up with green beans
tofurky tastes like cardboard
Gimme the real thing

eta: Welcome, Jayne.

[veinglory]

Gimme the real thing
A day we can all gobble--
even the turkey

[Jayne]

even the turkey
has a stuffed painful stomach
from eating too much

Thanks, Haggis.

[Ganesha]

from eating too much
I lay like a beached whale: wait
listen to the wind

[poetinahat]

(what a sound!)


listen to the wind
no thanksgiving overseas
still, i remember

[Gunpowder Nash]

still, I remember
sitting at the "kids table"
cousin, pass the corn

[Dee]

Cousin, pass the corn
And the taters and green beans
Yummy, yummy---BURP

[Gunpowder Nash]

yummy, yummy ---burp
did I think to save some room
for a slice of pie

[Kate Thornton]

for a slice of pie
i'd give my dream of size six
a fourteen is fine

[Ganesha]

a fourteen is fine
I trot out the turkey, he
looks uneasy to trim

[ddgryphon]

looks uneasy to trim
basted brown, stuffing around:
add the cranberries.

[Ganesha]

add the cranberries
subtract the jingle-berries
have a holiday

[Kate Thornton]

have a holiday
even if you don't much feel
like eating turkey

[Haggis]

Like, eating turkey
Is awesome, know what I mean
Know what I'm sayin'

[dahmnait]

Know what I'm sayin'
Women work while dishes clank
Touchdown, Cowboys win!

[Kate Thornton]

Touchdown, Cowboys win!
Like they always do somewhere
We are not watching

[dahmnait]

We are not watching
Intent on conversation
Turkey goes to cats

[Kate Thornton]

we are not watching
but the turkey disappears
and where is the pie?

[Kate Thornton]

Turkey goes to cats
they love this thanksgiving time
the humans feed well

[Dee]

The humans feed well
But turkeys baste in butter
Their meal time is past

[Kate Thornton]

Their mealtime is past
eyes closed in contented sleep
are they purring now?

[Ganesha]

are they purring now
wild turkey is silent
I utter my praise

[P.H.Delarran]

i utter my praise
offer gratitude, thanks, for
gifts not expected

[MacAllister]

Gifts not expected
Heart leap, caught breath, bright wonder
Holiday promise

[P.H.Delarran]

Holiday promise
humble needs met in simple
beginnings; new hope

[MacAllister]

beginnings; new hope
travelling down country lanes
falling into snow

[ddgryphon]

Falling into snow
arms, legs moving back and forth:
morning snow-angels

[P.H.Delarran]

morning snow angels
afternoon feast, family
evening content

[Billytwice]

evening content
now its all done and dusted
for another year

[Ganesha]

for another year
it seems the same but- listen!
let's live in the now
