Turkeys In the Yard
Turkeys in the yard
Searching for a meal or two
Pecking through the leaves
Stocking up while time allows
Thanksgiving day is coming
Slowly towards the woods
With bobbing heads go strutting
Gossiping aloud
Returning to the woodland
Bid farewell to the hunter
Written for Francine Roberts “The view-A tanka” contest
