This work has reached the exceptional level

poem Alicia with nice rhyme and syllable count. Not easy to write a poem of 10 syllables a line. You did it very well. Well these pelgrims and indians are living in me too. Such a pity we don't celebrate Thanksgiving here.

A very well-written Thanksgiving sonnet with lots of gratitude. Thanksgiving will not be special if there is always loads of delicious foods we can share with others.

This is well done, Alicia. Thanksgiving is a wonderful holiday in which we can just relax, enjoy each other's company and eat good food. Nicely expressed throughout. Marilyn

    Hi Marilyn! You enjoy that table full of vegetable side for me also. I'll be at the movie theatre all day. The single life. Lolz. Thank you. Hearts & hugs, Alicia :)

    Hi Alicia. Well, I'm single now, too. We have to prepare for holidays and special events to be with others. It's a good thing. Hugs, Marilyn

Enjoyed your celebration of Thanksgiving. I see the correct rhyme scheme of abab cdcd efef gg and the 10 syllable lines but the rhythm isn't quite iambic at times. What I liked the best is how you focus on the connection of people from different worlds enjoying time together.

    Hi! I can write a sentence. I can write a poem. However, iambic-syllable counting-rhythm... It's a lot to do at one time. You're nice. Thank you. Hugs, Alicia :)

You really do enjoy Thanksgiving--thank you for making me look forward to the holiday more. I enjoyed your rhymed sonnet and description of "spiced for living" along with the beckoning artworks. Cheers- Joan

    This will be our tenth, annual train trip with our son to San Luis Obispo. He's a rail buff and its an enjoyable tradition. Enjoy the movie theatre. More hugs- Joan

Great job with this Thanksgiving sonnet that expresses very clearly that you're looking forward to Thanksgiving. That's an interesting idea of having the Indians and Pilgrims living within you to share in the celebration. Thanks for sharing! Bill

I especially love the lines, those pilgrims and indians live in me/legends of the past, spiced for the living. what a joyous sonnet that celebrates Thanksgiving's past, its cultural and culinary delights, as well as the purpose of the holiday - to give t hanks!
