Poets’ Corner: Goodtimes on Thanksgiving

Poets’ Corner: Goodtimes on Thanksgiving

On October 3, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln declared the final Thursday of November to be the national holiday of Thanksgiving, a day to count our blessings for the bounty in our lives, as below in this poem by beloved country commissioner Art Goodtimes.

Thanksgiving
It’s warm jacket weather
tending Simba’s leash
Almost lose her to a pickup
speeding by on the other side
of the county road she
suddenly veers over into
Above us the trimmed
cuticle of a moon
My first day alone
in weeks. Having Cloud
Acre’s million willow
maze all to myself
