Sonnet

Food Sonnet

Nothings like the holiday of thanksgiving;
People sitting down, eating turkey and pie;
Forgetting the past, forgiving and caring;
Everything homemade, no artificial dye;

How did we end with up with such a fun dinner;
Thanks to the pilgrims, the Indians too;
Let us be thankful, for this great winner;
Families get together, that is so true;

Autumn follows poor summers death;
Harvesting the corn, churning the butter;
Great turkey parade, leaves you out of breath;
Get ready to sleep, closing the shutters;

An awesome one was this holiday;
Now we wait for the next thanksgiving day.

  1. good sonnet. I like the idea of thanksgiving. maybe you could add what it looks like and smells like, rather than just what it tastes like.

  2. nice sonnet. i like the happy feeling. maybe you could use some different vocabulary like other words for fun to exaggerate the emotion a little more.
