Chickens

brrk brrk brrk
buc buc buc burk
nice chicken,

buc buc buc
brk brK BURKuRK
Mean CHICKEN!

The littles pet my mouth
as I say the brrks
Recoiling with delight 
when mean chicken 
gives them fright.

Maurice Yvonne Date: 10/26/2014 9:05:00 PM I really like this. It is an unfamiliar form, but who cares as long as I enjoy reading it. Login to Reply Maurice Yvonne Date: 10/26/2014 9:34:00 PM Not at all Dan. I think it is good to explore styles. I thoroughly enjoyed this poem. Dan Helppi Date: 10/26/2014 9:23:00 PM Sorry about the form Maurice, I just went off the sound, Grook sounded like a chicken to me. I don't mean to be irreverent.

Richard Lamoureux Date: 10/25/2014 9:06:00 AM I can picture this, if chickens spot blood on another chicken they all peck the poor chicken to death.
