Kissing Chickens
Kissing Chickens
By: Naomi Fountain
From across the barnyard they saw each other
He brash and boastful
his streaming feathers dark and mysterious
shimmering with green iridescence
each time he stamped his mighty, clawed foot
The Ballad of Turkey Cowboy
The Ballad of Turkey Cowboy
By: Jimmy Kudrik
A rusty saloon packed tight with outlaws
Seeds in the trough and the sound of stout caws
With matted dusty feathers and hat pulled low
Turkey Cowboy saunters in, seeking his crow
Don't Step To My Juicy White Breast
Don't Step To My Juicy White Breast
By: Trrbl D
Gobble gobble gobble, hands off my wattle
Pluck a single feather and I’ll go full throttle
You know I ain’t no triflin’ little turkey
Mess with my meat and I’ll make you the jerky

About poeltry.com
Poetry about poultry. Is this inherently a comical proposition? By all means, yes. But are some of these poems (or at least parts of them) intended to be "serious"? Also, yes. Perhaps this is a contradiction. But if there's one thing poeltry is not meant to do it's take itself too seriously.
We believe that poetry should appeal to everyone, not just a select few. To that end, we don't believe that poetry should be a puzzle to figure out. Nor should it be overly didactic. Or maudlin. Or raunchy. It should just be fun. And if it happens to inspire folks in some way, that's great too.
Poeltry.com is a curated site. In addition to original poems written by the site's editors and curators, submissions are also accepted.
