Haiku Friday: What didya eat?
The day after Thanksgiving; let's reflect on the food. What did you eat? I'll go first:
Brined, perfect bird
I cut it and fell back; oh!
That heavenly scent.
Now it is your turn! 5/7/5 is the syllable count, and the winner gets a bio here on Monday.

Comments:
Four veggies: Kale pie,
broccoli, winter squash and
peas with pancetta.
Don't worry: we had
Turkey, mashed potatoes and
lots of stuffing too.
Afterwards, there was
Apple pie and pumpkin pie
with ice cream on top.

Deep fried turkeys. Are
they good? I don't know. They were
gone when my turn came.
But I am thankful
for jalapeno "stuffing",
and warm pecan pie.

On Thanksgiving Day
A young reporter
His first Thanksgiving alone
A good lesson
I vowed that no one
Would be alone Thanksgiving
If I could help it
Mary and I have kept
That big promise when we could
Since that gray evening
And the meals? All great
Regardless of the details
Because of that vow!

The pumpkin begged
To be anointed with mace,
Sliced for pilgrim mouths.
Corn pudding tempered
With flour,substantial not light
Or flighty,souffled.
Belgique sprouts not French
Invite panacetta to melange
And onion to dance betwixt.
Angels baked pecan
With brown sugar and eggs,in
Loving cups of crust.
Beans being green,thin
Like silk strings strung almond and
Held captive by beurre.
Potatoes mashed gloss
Creamily buttered almost
Seafoam,I drown glad.
Orange child-loathed peak
Even they grow fond of you,
Of the plated Mount.
So they sat,babes held,
Hands held,savoring each bite
Thankful for it all.
