PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

This Thanksgiving week,

Which was originally planned,

To be spent with him,

Has now been banned.



In the event two nights ago,

We got home two hours late.

So, the punishment, was

A week grounded we’d wait.



Sadly this week is short.

Our school was set so.

Only ‘til Wednesday,

Are we to go.



Wednesday’s our half day.

On this we had decided,

To be together, all day

‘Til the last moment, undivided.



Tonight on the phone,

We both had said,

How the rest of the week,

Were days we would dread.



We both complained,

In mutters a bit,

And I began whining,

Throwing a small fit.



He said not to submit,

To the antagonist way.

As I ate my own words,

I had little to say.



I umphed and pouted,

And eventually shouted,

“UGH! I don’t want to go,

To my Aunt’s house though!”



He chuckled and sighed,

As he quietly replied,

“What else can we do?

I love you.”



There was a moment of silence.

Then a thought came to mind,

In attempt for a sweet something,

As well as a laugh to unwind.



“Then I’ll eat turkey,” I was screaming,

And have L-Tryptophan dreaming!

At least this way I may view,

The togetherness of me and you.”
