Turkey Ode

Ode for the Turkey that kicked the bucket
As we raise the carving knife for the cut
With thanks for the ample life thou hadst
Resplendent praises we liberally bombast
Upon thy carcass decked with rosemary and thyme
Center of our festive dinnertime


And the One With All the Words 

    -using all 44 of the words that have been quadrille prompts in the past.

Breeze dancing dream free
Shimmering, twisting green
Spills spicy pepper leaves cuing
Dawn’s rosy, curling breath
Shadowy whispered clouds balloon
Flickering spring storm bubbles, sounds
Blissfully drizzles, giggles, grins
Lulls; melts.
Jarred journey kicks open
Ghost echoes
Scarred stillness creaks
Skips fear; sparks hope



Written for d'Verse.

  5. Love the first one--yummy, sacrificial bird. But your use of all the words in the second was pure skill and made sense, too.
