Tankas of Thanks
A Few Thanksgiving Poems
“True thanks brings the harvest.” Michelle Liew
Holiday occasions like Thanksgiving can seem like an obligation. But true thanks, with love and a willingness to share, brings bountiful personal harvests.
**********************************************************************
Chime of the doorbell
Chilly winds bring forth his cry-
The pilgrim of thanks.
“True thanks will fill hungry souls;
Share, and your empty hearths grow.”
**********************************************************************
Gentle candles glow
Dark shadows drift in the air
Notes on the table:
“Thanks for the feast of plenty;
With love, the harvest gathers.”
