Eve Roper Poet Tanka

The Luckiest Bird Around

Shake from a nightmare; 
Farmer sharping his cleaver. 
To freezer, he went; 
T-bone for Thanksgiving feast. 
Boasting round, ruffling my wings.

Soup being down screwed my tanka to a one liner... how upsetting...

Victor Buhagiar November 11, 2021 at 1:20 AM Lovely tanka. I haven't eaten a T-bone for ages.

Darlene De Beaulieu November 10, 2021 at 5:40 PM Hello Eve roper, I would say the turkey got lucky. Steak is just as good. Enjoy your evening my friend. Hugs.
