About This Author
My name is Joy, and I love to write. Why poetry, here? Because poetry uplifts its writer, and if she is lucky enough, her readers, too. Around us, so many objects abound to write about. Once a poet starts with a smallest, most trivial object, he shall discover that his pen will spill out what is most delicate or most majestic hidden inside him. Since the classics sometimes dealt with lofty subjects with a lofty language, a person with poetry in his soul may incline to emulate that. That is understandable. Poetry does that to a person: it enlarges the soul and gives it wings. Yet, to really soar, a poet needs to take off from the ground. Kiya's gift. I love it!

A Review From The Iron Bank Of Braavos

Title: How Thanksgiving Became A Holiday

Hi Joy: I am Megan, one of the sly foxes.

First Impression: I knew Thanksgiving didn't become a holiday right away. I remember the first Thanksgiving. Not that I was there. I didn't know Lincoln made it a holiday. God bless Lincoln. I was curious and had to read this so I sat down and read this. Here are my thoughts and observations.

What needs your attention: I can't think of anything. It looks like you have got this covered. Looks like you researched this. No mistakes or anything.

What part I liked best: Lincoln making this a holiday. Sarah Joseph Buell Hal getting Lincoln to make this a holiday. People adding their own special holiday ingredients to make the meal better. I never liked the early settlers being called pilgrims. Colonists seem more appropriate.

Overall Impression: Looks like you researched this. The details were well defined and this is easy to follow. Creative and colorful. The menu wasn't much back there but they shot and killed their own food. A good presentation and a good style. This holds the reader's interest. I have always enjoyed Thanksgiving. It is a heartfelt celebration.

The views and opinions are mainly the things discovered by the reader and therefore do not reflect necessarily to the activity, group, and/or event being affiliated within. This is only the opinion and suggestions of the reviewer and it is still up to the author to consider this review as a corrective action or otherwise. Thank you for allowing me to read your work. It has been my pleasure.
