Poultry farm chaos
Chicken-lickin’ you
Sweet and sour future
Henhouse flurry
Henpecked and handpacked
Epistle of gristle
Cellophane stiffy
Wishbone hope?

I don't own
a smartphone
I've never had
an I-pad
I don't text
I'm not on twitter
What's the point
of all that chatter
A dog's life
is all I've known
What I really want ~
's a new wishbone

we used to love it when we reached the end of the turkey
we kids were allowed to compete in the wishbone challenge
my brother Larry Joe and I competed every Thanksgiving
what I would give to have one more wishbone challenge with him

Blank verse
When you are young
You hold your tongue
But when you are older
The world is a bit colder
You break that wishbone
In hopes you’ll never be alone
This place is scary
But the burdens we carry
Won’t hold us back
If someone is there to keep us on track.

Bright Idea

The turkey this year was so great,
the wishbone lay there on the plate.
I won the big part
and wished from my heart;
“Please, grandad, don’t start a debate!”
He didn’t hear me, I am guessing;
said, “is it stuffing or dressing?”
We fed him with wine,
which made him supine;
that, was our Thanksgiving blessing!

wishbone
the furcula
attachment wing muscle
pulling tugging bending breaking
sternum

Making Wishes
I take a penny and toss it in the well
Then make a wish and I can’t tell
If I see a shooting star in the sky
I make a wish for my wife and I
If I have chicken with a wishbone
This would be for two, I live alone
No more candles on a birthday cake
No more wishes can I make
Making wishes that my wife could be
Together again with me

Couplet
There was tiger named Archie Hoggerpipe,
Who, weirdly, wished to swap every dark stripe.
A turkey quickly agreed
To meet Archie's costume need.
Thankful lions ate Arch, leaving no tripe.
The stuffed pride of lions later cried fowl.
O how the savannah shook with their howl.
A tiger without wishbone
Left all lions anger prone,
Until round the striped turkey they did prowl.

My eyes fell closed as I watched a dark night sky
A chance wasted of hopes pinned on stars falling
Candlewick atop my cake, flame did defy
I feel the fates to my dreams are stonewalling
I plucked an eyelash with a deep breath inhaled
But the breeze beat my breath, another wish failed
A last chance hinging on thanksgiving alone
Alas, there’s no wish, on a broken wishbone

Rispetto
I am the sultry silence
the wishbone
of your dreams
feel my warm breath
slither down your throat
across your chest
feel my transparent tongue...
We rage the erotic battle
I feel your pulse race
my fingers of flame
caress all that is yours
I am your imagination
arching above your feminine form
I sink slowly into you...
Just so you know my love
you will never be able
to shake me from your dreams
I will seduce you to a place
beyond mere thoughts and words
tonight, dream of us...
