Paulette Calasibetta Poet Couplet

Failed Flight

A Wild turkey, bulbous bodied, wings flapping in the breeze;
                     Determined to fly, whoops, he fell to his knees!

Anselmo Boles November 28, 2021 at 2:04 PM Whoops, wrong take-off angle, and it needed some time on the treadmill to shed a few pounds!

Delice Arleen Skelly November 24, 2021 at 3:06 AM Have to confess I have never seen a wild turkey...Delice Paulette Calasibetta November 24, 2021 at 5:35 AM Oh, they are so comical.....they are not aerodynamically suited to fly, but they try; creating quite a commotion and quite funny. Happy Thanksgiving, Paulette

Judy Ball November 23, 2021 at 1:14 PM lol So cute but also so true. Never saw a turkey fly as well as a chicken and they don't really fly well. Have seen a wild turkey get off the ground but not very well. Cute one. Loved it. God Bless, JB Paulette Calasibetta November 23, 2021 at 2:21 PM Yes Judy...it is true~turkeys are not 'flyers' but I find them quite humorous when they try. Happy Thanksgiving, Paulette

Victor Buhagiar November 23, 2021 at 1:49 AM Quite humorous. A turkey is too heavy to fly. Best for a win. Rico Leffanta November 23, 2021 at 11:11 AM Really? Good thing turkeys don't know that or they would never be able to nest in trees, would they? Paulette Calasibetta November 23, 2021 at 5:13 AM Yes, however I have seen them manage to catch a wind but not get too far. They are quite humorous! Thanks for commenting. Blessings, Paulette

Sotto Poet November 22, 2021 at 8:04 PM I appreciated reading your outstanding couplet with its humouristic spirit. Good luck in the contest. Paulette Calasibetta November 23, 2021 at 5:14 AM Thank you Lasaad, I find turkey's to be quite humorous; where I live we have 20 or 30 turkeys wandering around, indulging in acorns and sometimes 'trying' to fly. Thanks for your stopping by my page. Blessings, Paulette
