a plump turkey struts
across the leaf filled farmyard--
smells cranberry sauce...

simmer in copper

for soft, sleepy, sweet
cranberry burnished

a cranberry sauce with flair

decided to dye its hair

its red vibrant hue

stood out in the stew

Cleaned, basted and stuffed
Surrounded by pumpkin pie

A turkey was shaking his wattle,
Whilst reading about  Aristotle,
He'd forgotten, of course,
About cranberry sauce,
'Cos then he would just lose his bottle!...

the sun sets maroon
	around eight o’clock

it mixes elegantly
	with the electric streetlights

in the parking lot.
	I take out my pen

& add cranberry /
	orange juice to the list...

Roasting a goose just for you 
Succulently stuffed 
With wild rice, and curried shrimp… 
Teasingly browned -- Glazed 
With a cranberry

The Old Fisherman got a new truck.

A cranberry Chevy.

The people who sell his face

gave it to him.

It replaces the old Ford

with wood side panels 

which hold back the barrels, 

his catch....

My hunger is too great today
Than it has ever been

We’ve been a thousand miles in piles of
Diet coke and cranberry patches

Streaming ear to ear like a seam,
Seemingly patterned yet not all alike or repeating...

Here is how I freak them out Count Bunny-u-la said.
I add cranberry juice, and tint my eyes an awful color of red.
They see me and they scream off their tiny little head.
Halloween is the night for me, and everything that’s dead....

October ushers in autumn like no other month
when we see many mature fresh pumpkins, gourds, 
pomegranates, ripe dates, grapes, cranberry, yam.
in southern hemisphere, south of the Equator,
interesting to know mid October is mid spring season...

Celestial sauce for all.
    Clementine, port and fruit, 
      Churn with sugar so sweet.
        Condiment for turkey, 
           caramelize your meat,
             cream with milk, make it pink.
Captivating fine food.

We three guys did the man thing,
No turkey wing or cranberry ring,
No corn on the cob nor fat ham,
Not a juicy pie or sugared yam,
Decided on a commoner meal,
And short trip behind the wheel;
"Get ready boys, if you please,
We're off to get some Chinese."...

The battle lions are drawn
Syruped upon the wind
Spanning a silence fraught with the nervous and the calm.

Sultry the nanimals linger in the praying field
Lurid with cranberry eyes they touch.

In touch with you and me.
So step outside and see.
How many things you can be....
