cool earth dust baths
in the shelter of shade
chickens get-a-way
The Guardian
hen defender
shaman’s shield
the cockerel divinare
Flower Fowl
clutch of blooms
hens and chicks
cluck in colors
Strut
the rooster walks with intent
wearing indifference
as his charm
Chicken Queue
patience is a virtue
in the feed line
at the red barn
Hen House
These ladies
live in luxury.
Black and White
Scratch and cluck, peck and lay
so is the sum of the chicken’s day.
Couples
Two by two
it’s best when your partner
doesn’t look exactly like you.
