This Thanksgiving, curl up with a good book of poetry and let the words fill your heart with warmth and joy. Here is a selection of Thanksgiving poems to get you started:

"Thanksgiving" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Over the river and through the wood, To grandfather's house we go; The horse knows the way To carry the sleigh Through the white and drifted snow.

Over the river and through the wood, Now grandmother's cap I spy! Hurrah for the fun! Is the pudding done? Hurrah for the pumpkin pie!

"Autumn" by William Cullen Bryant

Ere in the northern gale, The summer tresses of the trees are gone, The woods of autumn, all around our vale, Have put their glory on.

The mountains that infold, In their wide sweep, the colored landscape round, Seem groups of giant kings, in purple and gold, That guard the enchanted ground.

"Thanksgiving" by Robert Frost

Over the bare brown fields Harvest has passed. Only the wind remains To blow the seed To the waiting earth.

The barns are full; The granaries are full; And the bins in the cellars Are full of corn.

"Thanksgiving Dinner" by Emily Dickinson

A turkey stuffed with sausage And apple-dumplings rolled In flaky crust of pastry And pumpkin-pies of gold!

With cranberry sauce and pickles And nuts and wine and cheese, The table holds a treasure To satisfy and please.

"Thanksgiving Day" by Carolyn Wells

Thanksgiving Day is here again, A day for feasting and for cheer, A day to gather with our kin, And give our thanks for all we've been.

For family, friends, and food so fine, For health and strength and peace of mind, For all the blessings we enjoy, On Thanksgiving Day, let's give thanks with joy.

I hope you enjoy these Thanksgiving poems. May they fill your heart with warmth and gratitude on this special day.
