Thank you to everyone who participated in this contest. I had a great time judging this one. You guys are so creative!

First, however, I  must point out that I had to disqualify some truly great poems because they showed the author's name. This was clearly against the rules.

Second, TURKEYS DO NOT FLY! I did reveal that biological accuracy would figure in.

Congratulations to all the winners.

Mary

I want to apologize for saying turkeys don't fly. I was a believer in WKP in CInncinati;s show where the radio station did a promotion by dropping turkeys out of a plane, only to find out they didin;t fly. I did not even think to check on wild turkeys.

Mea culpa, mea culpa. If you feel your poem was disqualified SOLELY because of my mistake, then contact me. I might have a consolation prize for you. I also have one for my contest winner, if he should choose to contact me.

Thanks, everybody!

Thank you, Mary. I enjoyed your creative contest. Even though I did not place, it was fun trying to meet the challenge. I must say, I live in an area that has many wild turkeys. We see them every day. The wild turkeys can fly up to 100 feet! They are more agile and thinner than the domestic ones. Our wild turkeys make nests in trees and fly up to their young. Look forward to your next contest. Sandra
