Dan Helppi Poet Grook

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.

Rajat Kanti Chakrabarty October 29, 2014 at 10:04 AM I love grooks, chickens and rooks. Your "mean chicken" is incredible even if it does not mean anything and buc buc bucs all thru morning. I enjoyed your poem. Love and welcome to PS----- RAJAT Dan Helppi October 29, 2014 at 8:54 PM Thanks Rajat!

Cona Adams October 27, 2014 at 8:15 AM Having been raised with chickens, this resonates with me. I could see them. I'm laughing with you. Dan Helppi October 27, 2014 at 8:16 AM I am glad you are laughing!

Maurice Yvonne October 26, 2014 at 9:05 PM I really like this. It is an unfamiliar form, but who cares as long as I enjoy reading it. Maurice Yvonne October 26, 2014 at 9:34 PM Not at all Dan. I think it is good to explore styles. I thoroughly enjoyed this poem. Dan Helppi October 26, 2014 at 9:23 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 October 25, 2014 at 9:06 AM I can picture this, if chickens spot blood on another chicken they all peck the poor chicken to death. Dan Helppi October 26, 2014 at 9:26 PM We humans can be as cruel. But in my take the poem describes a game I play with my little ones with me as the chickens and my mouth as the beak.
