Oh, what a fun write. It was very thoughtful of your husband to do what he did - knowing how worn out you were from visits with your mon. And so you came to the house and there was real thanksgiving food! I admired rhyming, meter, imagery, visuals and presentation.

Good luck in the contest.

    Thanks my sweet friend for such kind words for my poem. It was one year I did appreciate him pulling this prank on me or I would have insisted on doing it all myself. I appreciate your kindness and I thank you again my friend.

Hello author, this poem is so sweet and endearing and is in the true spirit of Thanksgiving. I think if it were me, your mom would have had a hard time getting rid of me--thinking about a fish fry for Thanksgiving. Lol.
Well done, well told. This poem made me smile, but one Question:

Even the deer hearts on a stick
(What's this all about? If it doesn't come from a butcher, count me out - lol.)

As this is a contest entry, wish you good luck. LateBloomer

Make a wish. Wouldn't you, as a mother, have something done unto yourself as you have done so many times unto another. Yes ... and no. The joy I think moms enjoy is giving herself to those she loves. Still, having it returned, even once is or was a blessing as told here.

    Awe, thank you so very much Tom!. You are always so sweet and I appreciate your very kind words. It truly was a hard time on me and my hubby knew I would have done it all myself if he didn't fool me. I was so happy when I found out we weren't having deer heats on a stick. He was trying to make me more appalled so I wanted to be gone that morning.
    It is always so nice to hear from you and have you review my posts. So appreciated! Thank you again my dear friend. Thanks for your good luck wishes. I am one down from being tied for first so not so bad.

This is a hoot and a holler, mystery poet! How'd my Georgia relatives seep into your story, I wonder? Holiday brings out the best and worst in us, I suppose. Thankfully, there's pie and beer to please everyone.

Sending you my best today as always and my very best for the upcoming contest,
Sally Law :)) XOs

How wonderful! I can't imagine my family doing something so awesome, but I can dream that they would. I think they would say "cancel the day" because none of them want to clean, cook, or be responsible for anything but eat!

Smiles and hugs, Carol

How wonderful! It's lovely to know they care that much, and can see what you are going through trying to care for your mother as well as the family. I'm sure this will be a memory that you'll treasure forever. Aw, that was a lovely story to read. :)) Sandra xxx

This is a good entry to the Thanksgiving Poem Contest. The text is a nice size. The message is clearly stated, and the story is so well-told. The rhyme scheme is great.
I would press enter a couple times after the last sentence to make the poem more balanced in the poem box. The visual is cute and fits perfectly. Good luck in the contest.

That was a lovely token of love for you, which makes it more special than ever. You created a fine poem to tell the story, although I did find the font very heavy, making it a bit hard to read. Otherwise excellent. Best wishes.

This is a fun take on a Thanksgiving meal that one wouldn't really look forward to, particularly the fish and deer hearts on a stick.

Luckily it was the family trying to pull one over on a traditional Thanksgiving meal.

Just one typo here:

I know your (you're) sad that she is sick

Much luck in the booth.

Gloria
