Thanksgiving Story
In any form-short story, poetry, lyrics, etc.-tell me a thanksgiving story.
A Thanksgiving Mystery
not enough seats
up to the attic for more
stiff and cold
of sawdust and a lonely floor
behind the creates
of the holiday decore
lay the tables and folds
you dragged them to the door
but then-- behind the sheets
a glint you couldn’t ignore
come closer the tarnished gold
seemed to implore
no desire for a thanksgiving feast
when you saw the open door
it was wooden, dark, and old
your mind begged for more
you stepped closer, feeling stuffy heat
you felt no hesitation, nor
fear of the threshold
for two letters, the golden handle bore
mysteriously etched of deceit
there your initials were adorned
what happened next was left untold
of what you saw beyond that door
