That's a great poem and a great idea. I have many things to be thankful for, many things that I could make my own. At the present, I suppose it is writing my Hazel stories. I wish you the best of luck with your club entry. Evi

Hi Evi, I thank you so very much. This one was tricky with the odd syllable count. I am going to try to get over to read one of your Hazel stories soon.
it was fun to make it about you! Thanks for all the kind words.
Love, Debi

Hi Pam, if you like anything about ice cream, for sure you will like it calorie free then. LOL
I thank you so very much. This one was tricky with the odd syllable count.
So it was fun to make it about you! Thanks for all the kind words.

Oh, so cool Debi. I like "National Make it Your Day." That is a very cool theme for a poem and I enjoyed reading this one too. And just fill in the blanks as well. Keep up the excellent work!

Comment from Michael Ludwinder
This is such a lighthearted poem! I love the idea of a "National Day" dedicated to someone. The playful tone made me smile! Especially the part about "no calorie ice cream" - that was a fun touch! Is this about wishes? haha The ending was perfect. This is really well done. Keep up the great work!

Comment from dragonpoet
Hi Debi,
I didn't know this day existed. It seems it is hard to pick a theme. Though I think it should be national and not personal. The the one about ice cream having no calories for the day is a good one and could be worldwide.
Good entry for the club. I will write mine soon.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Have a good day.
Joan

Hi Sweetie, but when I looked to see what National day it was, it said it was National Make it About You, Day. So it is National but it is also personal. LOL. I thank you so very much. This one was tricky with the odd syllable count. But it was fun to make it about you! Thanks for all the kind words.
Love, Debi

Comment from Karen Cherry
This is very interesting. A new poetry style, and a new holiday. If I could make it my own day, I would make the Social security grant me my permanent disability status with twice what my husband gets. That would be fair. My money worries would be over. Or, my dry oil well would burst forth with untold wealth, where I could start my own charity for seniors.That would be nice. Good writing. Karen

Yeah, I found out that they would not grant that to anyone that didn't have a debilitating disease. The only reason I was able to qualify was because of the lupus. My attorney even told me in the beginning that it depended if I got a good judge or bad one on how much they would award you.
I thank you so very much. This one was tricky with the odd syllable count.
So it was fun to make it about you! Thanks for all the kind words. I love your idea of what to do with the money if you had it. So thoughtful!
Love, Debi

At the end of our lives we should get a living wage.Whatever out best year was, that is what we should get. every year. At the age of seventy. If we need to retire before that, due to health or taking care of others, we get a doctor's okay for our full amount, or a reduced amount spread across the years. Sounds fair to me. Karen

Another great poem. And I worked out the final line.
'I'm thankful for Donald Trump, and how he leads the Yanks.'
Your poetry keeps on getting better.

Hi Bob, hahaha, now there is a new one I never heard of before about Trump. His talents just keeps growing. LOL.
I thank you so very much for the sweetest comment. This one was tricky with the odd syllable count. It was a lot of fun to do though.
Thanks again for the kind words.
Love, Debi
Comment from Carol Hillebrenner
This is certainly an interesting form of poem. We did make it our day as we delivered Meals on Wheels and no one needed an ambulance. That happened two weeks ago. Then we had a vacation during which we arrived at a forest and a town that were devastated by tornados and then a dust storm tried to turn over our little RV for 20 hours and 200 miles. Nothing bad has happened all week, so far! Thanks for the fun poem.

I am thankful nothing more has happened to you.

I am thankful for...life, and the love I get to share in the words of these reviews. Some can accept it and return it, and some simply can't understand the innocence and honesty of it all. I'm thankful for those people also.

I guess I'm guilty of having a couple of favorites.
Comment from Elena Zhuravel
So many questions arise after reading this piece-in a good way.
My mind is filled with questions; you have opened the door, letting my thoughts fly in search of answers. Bravo!

Hi Elena, I see you are new here and I welcome you. I hope you will be very happy here as we are like a big second family. I hope we can be good friends.
I am so happy you liked this piece, so I am wondering if by chance if the four star rating then was a slip of your finger? It happens all the time.
Or I am wondering if you read the format and structure in author's notes to see what a difficult piece this was to write and keep it in meter considering the syllable counts for each stanza.
For a four star review we are supposed to have you tell what it is you think we could improve on to make it better.
Thank you in advance for any feedback you can give me regarding this Markette Poem. Debi

Thank you for your kind words!
Thank you for saying it 🙏
I have already changed: it's excellent (because it was a mistake)
