I find your poem simple and profound. Giving thanks is a good way to cure what ails you.
Your words remind us that appreciation is an action process - we thank God, we celebrate, we visit, we eat together, we remember, we love.
Wow. If we're busy doing all that, all we have time for is 'Thanks.'
Great poem.
God bless and my best,
Relda

    No apology necessary. I haven't been able to post (or even write anything) since my husband's ALS has hit quadriplegic stage. Been busy. - My best and God bless! Relda

    Thank you for this review and I must apologize for the untimely response. I appreciate your encouragement which is very inspiring. Haven't been with F.S. in a few weeks, so once again, I apologize for the time lapse in thanking you. : )

I will not be with family or friends for Thanksgiving, I will be home and probably have a very light meal, but show my gratitude to God for his provision in my life. Patricia

    Thank you very much for the review on my poem. I understand your reply and it is true, that not everyone has the "stereotypical" ideal "fun with family" get-togethers at holidays. Or perhaps, it is one's choice, regardless, it is what it is. LOL! Thank you, again for the review and the 5 stars!

This nonet, Appreciation Celebration, takes us to the simplicity of prayer that we all can do. I like the staging of this poem and its message. Bill

Poet,

"Perfect appreciation celebration" indeed! You have composed a very nice
Nonet entry with a very fitting subject for this time of year as well. You
have well chosen words and form is perfect.

It's a good reminder for all of us to be thankful for all of God's blessings
in our life.

Linda

A good nonet. A subject of thanks giving is very thoughtful. You start your first line on planning and the appreciation until the end where we only say thanks.

Good thanksgiving nonet centered on the premise of home and hearth. Paints a descriptive picture of family and food, where sensory activation from effective diction gives scent, sight and sound. Great job
