that be idle on
half dreamy air
at evenings rise and wonder
near hearts gather
kin and kisses
sweetness not grown cold
gather and share
in touched whispers
vast spread of turkey trimmings
indulge in wine and pudding
near to unbroken
given to each other

This is a lovely poem. Feel the warmth.
Ah, wonderful. such contentment and warmth captured here, Chris.
You did manage to evoke that atmosphere during a breaking of bread. Excellent work, and very subtle with the acrostic, which I respect lot.
Thank you Samuel and for the style you proposed it was enjoyable
Indulging in pudding is dangerous! Nice snapshot
Sabio glad you like pudding all the best
I think you did a great job here–very nice acrostic.
Thank you Susan hope all is well
gather and share in touched whispers…smiles…it is great to be around family at the holidays…about to head over to my grammas house where all my aunts and uncles and all will be…
Best wishes to you all
You’ve created the feeling of Thanksgiving in a nice, economic write.
Thank you Victoria have a wonderful day
wonderful capture of that kind of fellowship you can have while sharing a good meal together with people you love…wish we would celebrate thanksgiving over here…
I tried to capture the feel and did not seem to bad
