Comment from Sanku
An absolutely delightful poem about the spirit of thanksgiving .We should teach our children to appreciate the little things in life that bring us joy.'the breeze when my kite is flying ,for my mom when I feel like crying,for my cat when he comes to nuzzle'-all are perfect examples from a child's point of view.And the last quatrain is a perfect closing gently reminding that troubles would come but one balances them with the good things around us.

And sometimes it is being able to truly give thanks for the little things that makes life bearable. On Thanksgiving, we all join hands in a circle and say what we are thankful for. My daughter- Netflix. Thank God for the gift of being able to laugh at the little things. Excellent Thanksgiving poem.

Comment from amahra
Wow, I don't think I've ever read one like this one: Is it correct to call this type of rhyming scheme: AAAB then at the end: AABB? I really like it for its uniqueness.

spider (always fascinating in my eyes,
altho I don't like spiders) - rhythm

Comment from RGstar
Love the lyricism of this one, catchy and quirky with a deeper meaning for those who partake and have partook.
Good presentation of the form with the fist 3 lines rhyming answered by the fourth.
Lovely image of togetherness.
Bravo

Comment from Shirley E Kennedy
A perfect poem to help explain the spirit of Thanksgiving.
If we could all be like little children and be thankful for the little things life could be so beautiful.
I love the word imagery and format which gives the poem a feel of joy and anticipation. It is so full of the thankfulness and love of life.
I wish I had a six to give.
