Turkey Trot
written by: Ken Gosse
Turkeys who stand by the road’ll
Cross quickly when scared by a yodel.
Do chickens make fun
Of these birds on the run?
I’ve heard so, but that’s anecdotal.
Ken Gosse prefers writing short, rhymed verse with traditional meter usually filled with whimsy and humor. First published in First Literary Review–East in November 2016, since then in Pure Slush, Home Planet News Online, Spillwords, Lothlorien Poetry Journal, and others. Raised in the Chicago suburbs, now retired, he and his wife have lived in Mesa, AZ, over twenty-five years with rescue cats and dogs underfoot.
