Enjoyed the poem, specially the atmosphere of celebration. We don't celebrate Thanksgiving but have these buffets for marriages and celebrations,
A memory
In the old days
Celebrations
Were full of
Excitement.
Laughter
Food
Children running around.
I used to meet my friends at parties.
Of late I meet them at burials.

Happy and sad poem... enjoyed :)
Tomorrow's assignment for our Thursdays at Two group was to be woven around "Three Wishes"... here is my effort:
Three Wishes
"A wish is a desire without energy" - Paramahansa Yogananda; whereas prayer is a conversation with God.
Perhaps I might find an ancient lamp at an antique store with a grateful loosed Genie to grant me three wishes without guile:
I might wish for dour men of war to smile and come to their senses and become the brethren that they truly are,
I might wish that all disease were eradicated - that all children might live out their full four-score years as the Psalmist wrote, and more...
I might wish I could visit Italy and throw pennies in the fountain of Trevi in Rome to perpetuate my visits there... and there
As it is I am content to remain humble and blow softly upon a dandelion's puff to scatter my wishes to the wind for færies to facilitate...
Yet I'll rely on my righteous prayers throughout the day that they might become fulfilled by our beneficent Heavenly Father, but only as He will.

Loved it! Good assignment.
Let me have a try!
Three wishes
I´m not modest
First wish:
I would wish a healthy world for plants, beast and men:
no diseases, no poverty, no wars, no hatred, no murder.
Second wish
I would wish I could learn the secret of happyness.
Third wish:
I would wish for three more wishes to use in case of emergency!
Forgive me for responding to your poem so very late :( ... I am much chagrined. Enjoyed :)
A few poems that I wrote with prompts from our Thursday at Two poetry group:
The prompt here was to write an abba cddc poem with the "wind" as a prompt:
AbbA cdCd
I dreamt of a host of white daffodils
caressed by a concourse of honeybees
whose wings created the only faint breeze
A gladsome sun created codicils
to the poetry of bright contentment
of a diamond Spring resplendent in dew
I sat with my Savior beaming whereto
we discussed His infinite atonement

Note: I fudged above and made 2-tercets and 1-couplet that appears as 2-quatranes :)
Next a Word Can poem: airborne, glossy, donate, enclose, concoction, opinions, knight, plead
to whom it may concern
enclosed my pleadings:
10 8x10 glossy photos
of myself in strife of an airborne
concoction of the pollens of death.
please donate your opinions.
your humble knight in misery
