Sotto Poet Poet Limerick

Spinning Turkey

Written: November 17, 2023, For, Tania Kitchin
            ___________________________________________

The kiddies would giggle and clap
The turkey flaunted his dire flap
He would spin and twirl
With a giddy swirl
Thanksgiving never was a trap

We had once a flattered turkey
Whose plumage was oddly quirky
He swung with such grace
A smile on the face
Bear Thanksgiving blithe and perky

Ink Empress November 18, 2023 at 7:32 AM The first stanza made me laugh! Haha what a fun read, you really are good at writing on any theme and form effortlessly, I especially loved “ The turkey flaunted his dire flap He would spin and twirl With a giddy swirl“ excellent imagery that truly left me in stitches i can imagine kiddies laugh. Very fitting for thanksgiving too. Goodluck in the contest. You’ve nailed it.
