This week let’s write a feast poem. The Thanksgiving holiday is on Thursday this week here in the States so there’ll be plenty of people feasting and, sadly, way too many who can’t. But we can still feast on poetry and you can make me thankful I offered this prompt by posting your poem in the comments below.
