Alluring globs of decadent
dressings undress my sensation’s control. Succulent turkey smells waft delicately airing enticing aroma, tempting an abundance of delicacies eager for devouring. Filling pie, cheery fruitful flavors of contentment satisfy, while digested gladdened tidings reveal another year of thankful blessings. ©Linda Balboni 2002 ·······  ·······"Imagination is more important than knowledge and encircles the world"

Linda,
You have whet my appetite and it is not yet Thanksgiving. I have mental images of savory morsels of turkey. One thought, in the following line: undresses my sensation’s should the word undress be utilized? A fun and timely poem, remindful of the joy of Thanksgiving. JLY ······· ·······Give thanks for your new friends of today, but never forget the warm hugs of your yesterdays.

 Oh boy! It's gotten HOT in here! :grinning: Love it Lindi! May I offer an alternate ending? How about: thankful dressings instead of thankful blessings? Just an idea.... to waft over.... :turkey: Great job Lindi! ~Cleo :pharoah: ······· ·······"It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door.

Hi Lindi!
Boy, have you got me salivating for "alluring globs of decadent dressing"! Yummm!  I'm having olfactory hallucinations just thinking about it. (heh-heh) I've been doing Atkins since last March and haven't had a speck of bread. Thus the hallucinations. ~smile~I really enjoyed this fun piece, it's perfect to get me in the mood for turkey, turkey, turkey..... I liked this piece just the way it is. I'm not sure about Jly's suggestion about changing 'undresses to undress', they may be correct but my grammer is kind of weak, so can't really say. I do like undresses better. Seems to keep with the decadent feeling of this piece a little more for me. Thanks again for posting this piece. I enjoyed reading it very much. Wishing you and your family a very happy Thankgiving! Love and stuff, Chris :) ······· ·······"...Morgan le Fay was not married, but put to school in a nunnery, where she became a great mistress of magic."

JLY Hello JLY~  Thanks for stopping by and commenting so generously on my Thanksgiving poem. You are absolutely correct and "thanks" as I didn't even catch how I used undresses incorrectly! (too concerned with the dressing/undressing play on words)  I did a slight revision in keeping the poem "full", which is what I tried to do given the abundance so many of us are lucky enough to have on Thanksgiving Day! Happy holidays to you!  Lindi ······· ·······"Imagination is more important than knowledge and encircles the world"

Hey Lindi,
Ah ah... I quite enjoyed this... and the frolicky and whimsical way you weaved in sensuality, a bit of lusty teasing with a tasty turn of turkey and Thanksgiving gobbles.. I think only you and Larry could pull off this so well.. Not a nit.. Just a pleasant and delightful read... Hugs, Liz :cloud9: ······· ·······Nominate a poem for the InterBoard Poetry Competition by taking into careful consideration those poems you feel would best represent Mosaic Musings.

Hi Lindi
Hey, the first stanza: alluring, decadent, dressings, undress, sensations, control. Hmmm, ah yes, of course, a turky in a slinky evening dress. Seriously though, for me a highly spiced meal of epicurian enjoyment. With the undertones of spiritual enlightenment to the succulent flavours.  Arnie  :troy:

Hello Lindi
Unfortunately we don't really have Thanksgiving here but you've just given me a wonderful taste of it! There's such lovely, vivid, succulent and sensuous descriptions here, it's a real pleasure to read. Succulent turkey smells waft delicately airing enticing aroma, tempting an abundance of delicacies eager for devouring. wonderful lines!! This is just marvellous!! Happy Thanksgiving! ······· ·······Lucie
"What could have made her peaceful with a mind That nobleness made simple as a fire, With beauty like a tightened bow, a kind That is not natural in an age like this, Being high and solitary and most stern?
