Ok, I found something that reminds me of Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving was originally about being thankful for harvest, right? I wrote a poem to go with my pic, please don't laugh - sometimes the words come easily, but they didn't this time.


The Creepy Pantry

The pantry in my basement
seems like a creepy, spidery place.
The cobwebs in the corners might
bring a grimace to one’s face.
But inside this creepy palace
are jars filled with TLC.
That later grace the table,
filling little hearts with glee.

It started with a garden,
sowing seeds in earnest hope.
Then harvest came so bountiful,
It was hard for me to cope!
I canned what I had jars for,
salsa, pickles, apricot jam.
The kitchen became a sauna as I
vigorously continued to can.

But harvest is finally over,
Wintertime is here at last.
I’m thankful for my creepy pantry
that hold’s my season’s passed.
