Best Fowl Poems

Epitome of ostentatious pride,
the peacock, glorious in regal stride
parades his flowing train of turquoise green.

His crowning glory bursts in bold array,
a mesmerising optical display;
the greatest pageantry there's ever been.

And then begins a courtship of romance
as eyes entice in hypnotising dance
a passing peahen dazzled by the...

Scowl from a Fowl

Everybody had been saying their blessing
Started to eat turkey filled with dressing
Along with some salad and cutup tomatoes
And my favorite which is sweet potatoes.

Ate crisp piece of bread without crumpling
Discovered how much I liked apple dumpling

As their next move I anticipate...

When I try to take a photograph,
Their backs they quickly turn!
But with...
