Poem: Thanksgiving

Written by empressjournee

“There you are, you roasted treat!”

upon the table—

prepare for all teeth,

pretty for all eyes to see—so it seems:

you dainty meat!

One, two three, I’ll pass: this time,

’cause you are not here—with me;

blues reggae is my soul heartbeat,

“now: where’s those heartfelt delicious  treats?”

About the author

empressjournee

This bio will be short. I am a graduate of Medgar Evers College. Mother of three and grandmother. I love to read and write poetry.

To those who have been a great support in reading my website and those who just came across this poetry this will be the ending of my poetic journey for now. I hope there will be a new chapter in my life that will be a success and inspired people to be far better in their thoughts, words and deeds. I am working on myself and it’s been hard.... yet I am getting there. When I began my poetry, I felt so deeply inspired. Now when I write I just write (feeling burned out of all that has occurred and is occurring) and I am feeling as if my poetry isn’t moving in the manner that I feel it should because I have not place myself in a position to be active reading my poetry at live venues for my own personal reason. I wanted to thank those who took the time to read my poetry especially my love ones. Thank you for being on the journey with me. Peace and blessings.
