Haiku Friday: Thanksgiving


Today's topic is Thanksgiving memories-- it can be from yesterday or Thanksgiving, 1972.  Food, family, disasters, parades, Turkey Trots, Black Friday, whatever!

Here is mine:

The Hudson's Parade,
Down Woodward, had snow this year.
Somehow, that feels right.

Now it is your turn!  Use the  5/7/5 recipe for syllables-per-line and have fun!


Comments:
Turkey at Grandma's,
Snow, cold, ice, no traveling,
Safe from elements.
 
Turkey noodle soup
Leftovers galore today
The house still smells good

Shit on a shingle
Mark Bittman's Potato Nix
Seriously dude

Like hash browns gone bad
Giant Potato Latke
Better with eggs, side

Duck disappointed
Did not get crispy, Honey
Baked Ham saved day

Bourbon Pecan Pie
Whipping Cream, Fresh, large dallop
Delicious, thank you
 


CAROLINA BORED HATED THANKSGIVING

She was early a
Curmudgeon: Loathed pumpkin pie
Turkey,chatty folk.GRRRR!

Consequently there
Was nothing to eat Thanksgiving.
Wanted: Cake and a steak.

When they approached her
She stuck out her tongue,and snuck,
Roomward to paint paisleys.

They called to her,she
Blithely ignored. And threw her
Apple core at doors.
 
Every moment is
Thanksgiving in Italy.
Pasta,Wine,Song.

I sit on the pink
piazza and drink vino
The sun is glow-warm

All Things move turtle.
We are kissing when our tall
Waiter comes with the bread.

He does not avoid
Our eyes but tries to drink from
Love's common bottle.
 
Haiku as portrait of a parade disaster (cuz I'm feeling all Irwin Allen today):
Inflatable elf
guide wires don't see the phone pole
the humanity
 

Listen Osler--Geoff sucks.

The thanksgiving Geoff
Sloshed giblet gravy down
My spangled cleavage.

My burning desire:
Stuffing his shorts with creamed corn
From the fiery oven.

Result: baked nuts pie.
Revenge is mine saith Sallydear.
Old Test'ment justice.

 
Sally,dewy,like turkey,
At my elbow,cheeks berry...cran!
My Sweet Potato!
 
The cloth long and lace
The crystal full of wine,a pie
Made of minced beef and

Raisins,wondrous spice
Lifts its countenance, warmed, to
Iced cream,and bids you

Consume righteously
Taste each morsel as if you
Might never eat again.

As you must taste friends'
Camaraderie when
Here alive.Good.Thanks.
