Our Thanksgiving Day
Food, family and dear friends
We celebrate Life
Being blest so bountifully
We joyfully give our thanks

I love the joyful part, and so does God!

Belief is a truth held in the mind; faith is a fire in the heart.

Nice.
What are the guidelines for a Tanka? I was taught it once, but I've forgotten

I see that it is another syllable formatted poem. 5-7-5-7-5? Am interested in expanding my poetic borders.

With the word, I am mighty, with the pen I am free..
