The peahen has died
The peacock is heartbroken
He joins the turkeys
Because the chickens are just
Colorless walking feathers.

King of the barnyard standing tall
Crowing loud for all to hear
Worry not about the laughter, when you fall
I’m sure it’s not sincere

Premium Member a cluck

sounds like a cluck, not a cock-a-doodle-do
a barnyard is nearby, country is the clue
I strain to listen, but the sound is gone
Now I hear hooting down by my pond

Poor chickens walking around in the barnyard Have no idea what's ahead, understanding is hard Never had a nasty bone Never strayed from home Loyal family chickens so the dangers they ignored

Premium Member Brazen Red Rooster

in violet dawn
he screeches a world awake
barnyard bugler struts

the sun is coming
and he's the first one to know
blooms and butterflies

red rooster so bold
like desert cactus flowers
and amber at noon

The whole barnyard is aware of it, and the zoo’s giraffe

Premium Member Barnyard Follies

My chicken has been flickin'
Her feathers in the hay
The cattle waged a battle
In their field the other day
A turkey feeling perky
Jumped up and ran away
Feeling daft, I laughed and laughed,
That's all I've got to say.

Premium Member A Winter's Harvest

With long hair wrapped up, rugged nails dirt dipped,
denim overalls and barnyard boots,
I set forth to get them gnarly raspberry stalks clipped,
and return with harvested horseradish roots
and frost freshened persimmon fruits.

Premium Member Barnyard Clowns For Sure

Chickens are funny 
In so many ways
Barnyard clowns for sure
Pecking and clucking
Fighting over feed

Some are road kill
Suicidal
Kamikaze
Free range chickens

White feathers
Golden beaks
Staring eyes

Barnyard
Cackling
Magic

Chicks

Barnyard Animals

Scratching the ground
And pecking around,
Chewing on cud,
Wallowing in mud,
Sheering the lawn
And crowing at dawn,
Running for sticks,
Grooming with licks,
Prancing for show
And hee-hawing no,
Chewing on tin,
Both women and men
Are like barnyard animals.

Premium Member The Talk of the Barnyard

She is the talk of the barnyard the alpaca’s whispered in tones.
She is gorgeous, leggy, furry, and she has the prettiest bones.
We were anxious to meet her but were jealous right away of course.
Everyone was super excited about her beauty, even the camel and horse.

Premium Member Old Goat Snagged Himself a Bride

Barnyard gossip was a buzz
Old goat had snagged himself a young bride
Farmer Jones wiped off chicken fuzz
And promptly ran back inside

Come see! He told his wife. It’s true.
The bride wore white, she carried blue.
Other farmers came by to see.
Old goat made some kind of history.

Premium Member Harvard, Academia's Barnyard

  Good to know that we can be sure that Ms. Claudine Gay
  Harvard's newest president was thoroughly vetted, 'the Harvard way'

    She's good with Harvard's policy that using the wrong pronoun is abuse
    But 'context is required' to discipline those who scream 'Genocide for Jews'

Premium Member Dumplings

Rooster, king of the barnyard, strutt your stuff
Stretch your flexible neck enjoy today
That neck will be great in dumplings, stew soon
Flop those flap away wings like you can fly
See if they carry the rooster away
Up into the safety of the blue sky
Mmmm revenge taste delicious served hot

Premium Member Barnyard of Life

Chewing casual cud 
In the barnyard of life
He emptied his brain
Thinking no thoughts
Watching the clouds move
Seeing a dog and a dragon
Floating in the realm of slow down
It was the best day in many days
He never wanted to return to his job
But of course he did, wanting to eat and all.

Premium Member hog fog bog cog dog

in a barnyard pen sits a happy hog
bullfrogs in a blizzard bog
dense and daring grayish fog
a curious machine with a metal cog
a summertime yip from a happy dog
going on a jaunty jubilant jog
black ants sliding on a wet log
chef includes New Years eve eggnog
love to rhyme hog fog bog cog and dog

Premium Member Surpassing Humans

exuding hope and love
sprinkling joy on ordinariness of the day

they take turns following
communing in a telepathic way
cats, dogs, bunnies, lambs, deer, squirrel,

finding each other
giving each other hope
sharing optimism and joy

in every meadow, barnyard and woods
not able to help themselves

Premium Member Day a Rooster Got Into My Face

I had nearly left the discomfort of the barnyard with some grace
when a roaming raring rooting rioting rooster got into my face
he chased me for a mile, and I felt more than a tiny bit of disgrace.
what are you doing? Someone asked me. Um…just a little race.
that mean fowl bit my ankle, and I landed upside down on my face.
