Brown hen clucks loudest
knows the end is coming
coming by the way the farmer
lays the feed
in consistently larger piles
from one day to the next
II.
Brown hen took the longest
to make into dumplings
Granny lost her ring
in gooey dumpling dough
as the bald man on the news
prepared us
III.
Brown hen's feathers
made a decent pillow, Mama said
the coughing ensued
in two days mama was dead
buried near the pasture
where she played as a kid
IV.
New brown hen doesn't cluck
doesnt cluck
and we havent had dumplings
in years
we have biscuits with mustard
by mamas grave
in the pasture
dedicated to Henny Penny & Billy Bob Thornton
The sky isn't falling, the new brown doesn't cluck, no more dumplings and I love this poem. Okay.
NJ, You know I love your sick sense of humor! I would love to hear you read this one! It would be cool to get your intonations, surely we would be rolling in the aisle :)
The funny thing is that I made chicken and dumpling today!
excellent, a well crafted narrative poem that can be interpreted on many levels. Mentioned in today's new poem review.
