no guilt felt when I overeat. - My favorite line of your poem. I found the pace well kept and the sentiment innocent and joyful (full disclosure, I'm a sweet potato pie kinda girl - lol). I found nothing to tweak or adjust. Well Done, Well Written.

Nice job. Not bad at all for a Thanksgiving poem. Keep up the good work, don't ever stop writing either. You only get better & better, continue to believe in yourself most importantly.

I loved the picture and I loved the rhyme although we do not celebrate Thanksgiving here in England we save our turkey for Christmas this gives a little more time to get bigger. Kooky

You describe a wonderful family on Thanksgiving Day. My favorite is having the family all home for the day and then seeing them leave toward evening to go back to their own homes. LOL Your poem has rhyme and rhythm and it's bouncy. I like bouncy poems. I also liked the picture that you chose. Good luck with the contest.

This it makes me hungry:"And don't forget that tasty pie,
the one that always makes me sigh.
Please have a great Thanksgiving day,
may many blessings come your way." Thank you for sharing and good luck with the contest.

This work has reached the exceptional level

You have described everything I love about Thanksgivings perfectly! My mom makes the most wonderful dinner for us all! The stuffing is my personal favorite! Maybe you should add a verse just about that!

Nicely done. A great time of year for families to get together - many not seeing each other for most of the year. Hopefully no politics being yelled about across the table. haha. :)

Well written, and does not require edits. In a couple places the prose is dense. For example: I'm excited, to say the least,
just can't wait for that turkey feast. Some of this has to be spoken in triplets to meter correctly. Most of the rest of your poem is in duples. As long as you are aware of that, you are good!

If you want to stick to straight duple meter, try something like: I am thrilled to say the least/can't wait for that Turkey feast.

Thanks for the read.

Best,
Harambe

    Thank you for this helpful suggestion. I'm terribly clueless when it comes to the technical aspects of poetry. I'll look it over....thanks again.:)
