Comment from Frances Jean
A well constructed kyrielle obeying the requirements of the form and displaying great end rhyming. I loved your poem! It's a crazy word at the moment and I am so grateful for the love of my family and friends. All too often we forget to take the time to smell the roses. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you Frankie. You are very kind and I appreciate your lovely review and comments. I know I already told you this today, but have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family. My favorite part of the holidays is to be together with them. Sounds like we have that in common. Thanks again, my friend. Debi

This would be a perfect song, this is something that would go nicely with guitar. Your poem has not only a nice form, it hides a great message inside :)

Thank you Joanna, for your kind words for my poem. How sweet of you to refer to it as a possible song. You are so appreciated, my dear friend! In case we don't cross paths in the next few days, Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours! Or I suppose you don't celebrate in Poland. Either way, I am truly thankful for your friendship! God Bless!

:) we don't have Thanksgiving in Poland, I'm waiting for December. Have a great week :)
Comment from bob cullen
What a great idea. We should never stop giving thanks for those who fought for us. And in many cases gave their lives fighting to ensure our freedom. We are the recipients of their courage. A brilliant poem and a strong reminder of what we owe those who came and served before us.
We thank you for our everyday.

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
We all know someone who is worse off than ourselves, even those of us who don't have much. We are always able to give a friendly smile, and say a kindly word. When possible, some can even help out in some other way that will make life easier for the others. This is a lovely poem, Debi, and a well deserved winner of the contest. Well done, my friend. :)) Sandra xx

Thank you Sandra, for your very kind words for my poem. As one of my first friends I met here, I value our friendship and have since the beginning. It means so much to me. You and your sweet comments are so appreciated, my dear friend! In case we don't cross paths in the next few days, Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours! God Bless!
After Thanksgiving, I will change the name of the poem and the last line to say, "Please everyday give Him our thanks." Or something like that.

Aw, thank you, Debi. I've always valued your friendship, and I'm so glad we 'met' here. Love and hugs. xxxxx
Comment from Charles W. Johnson
Outstanding meter and rhyming combined with a beautiful message of thanks. Well done. And I learned yet another type of poem, the kyrielle. I won't wait until Thursday to say, thank you!

Very nice thoughts, Debi. That was a very good choice for the repeating line. The last stanza was a really good finish. You should do well in the contest.

Great Kyrielle! I knew it would win. Well--I absolutely thought it should and cast my vote accordingly! Congratulations, Debi!
Your poem shines with grace--and you are so right! Even when things are upside down we really are blessed, and ought to be thankful every day!!

nicely done Thanksgiving poem. Expresses your faith and your views in a relatable manner. Even an agnostic like me can relate to this poem and to the underlying hope it espouses.

No matter what your beliefs are Jake, I know you are a good man who cares about others, that my poem talks about. I appreciate your kind words and I wish you a very happy thanksgiving to you and yours, my very dear friend!
Comment from Goodadvicechan
I like the picture. It is simple, only two word - give thanks.
I like the sentence which says, "On Thursday we all give thanks." Thanks giving always falls on Thursday. It is not asking Florida too much to say thanks on Thursday.
As long as we are alive, we should be thankful. Although life has ups and downs. Down time gives us a chance to learn something. For that, we should be thankful too.
Now thanks for sharing your writing with us

And thank you Chan for your lovely comments. I'm not sure what you meant tho about Florida ? Do they want to move it to another day? And you are right about being thankful everyday. That is why I ask that people always think of their fellowman everyday. I hope you and your family have a wonderful day together . God bless my dear friend!
