Haiku Friday: Giving thanks I
Those of you who know me well know that Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. I love the time of year, the traditions, the non-commercial nature of it, but mostly I love the bare idea on which it all rests. I love giving thanks for the bounty around me.
This week, let's haiku this way: Either use a first sentence of "For this I'm thankful:" or a last sentence of "For that I'm thankful." Just keep it more or less to five syllables for the first line, seven for the second line, and five for the third line.
Here is mine:
There are calm places,
Still, small moments of true joy;
For that I'm thankful.
Now it is your turn...

I am thankful for
7th grade hilarity.
Learner's support, lunch
"Health," home ec and math
The "hippie," KFC guy
6 minute miles
Goofball boys render
Age of awkwardness funny.
Yes, I am thankful.
