Turkey Tankas

Turkey Tankas


A dozen flock here,
Hens peck feeding at their grit,
Grand the cock displays

Look at him ruff his tail fan!
His harem has had enough
_

One has a long beard,
Stepping through the unmown yard,
The other one short

These two toms have owned these lawns
Since the hens went off to lay
_

Sweep up a grass stalk,
Beak strips all the seed in one,
He gobbles his friend

“And where is the coyote?”
Four eyes – better to scent him
_

Scaring grasshoppers,
Ruffle run wide five foot wings,
Turkey in the grass

Collecting his lunch is a
Task before the autumn chills
