Best Struts Poems
a plump turkey struts
across the leaf filled farmyard--
smells cranberry sauce
Summer, winter, autumnal and vernal
Nature's tide freely flows through time eternal
As our days are with abandon shorn
Each year laid to rest is by nature reborn
So let the champagne flow this last night of December
To auld lang syne lift a glass so we may remember
With buoyant glee we'll greet the bright new dawn
As the new year struts in with dash and elan
jeweled colors
male peacock struts his stuff
enjoying his name
not a wisp taller than four foot two
sporting mile high stilettos
her tossed bleached hair
way up high in a loose chignon
red dress tails that effortlessly
flow dreamily behind her
without missing a beat
'excuse me ~'
she winks and smiles
as she struts on by

A bright red robin struts on my fence
little lord of this, his street
He whistles out a merry tune
hopeful that he’ll meet
A lovebird who will make their nest
as from his heart he tweets
Together we will recreate
~ and raise a family sweet
