Laundry Day at the Chicken Farm

Good Word · Aug 8, 2006

(inspired by William Carlos Williams, ChunkyC and maestrowork)

There's something about
a red bucket of chickens
dazed by Spray and Wash
beside the white washing machine

ChunkyC · Aug 8, 2006

I like it!

Oh no, you didn't go there...

So much depends
on my blue can of beer
next to my black monitor
above my tan delete key.

Its unkind to hook me like that

So much I've left
undone

black coffee
untouched

bereft of
creamer

hot beside the
fresh pot

maestrowork · Aug 8, 2006

chickens have no lips
thus
they can't give me lip service

Good poem! I am so glad I inspired someone today.

so much
left to the imagination
can't be right

rhymegirl · Aug 8, 2006

Oh God, what a funny poem! I love it!

Hey! another chicken person/poet! I love your poem and it inspires me with its contrast--

two
a black
a white horse
stand
switching flies
for each other
in the blue shade
of the red barn
on a gold autumn
morning.

so much depends
to get out of the house
making certain
of no accidents
in old age

white chickens

red firetruck

bad timing

crossing the road

wordsheff · Aug 9, 2006

so much depends
upon

the red wheel
barrow

on the other
side

kdnxdr · Aug 9, 2006

depending on why
white chickens
crossed

the road unending
carries red
wheelbarrow

kdnxdr · Aug 9, 2006

white chickens
blender

red
wheelbarrow

kdnxdr · Aug 9, 2006

chickens
red
from pushing
white
wheelbarrow

kdnxdr · Aug 9, 2006

white chickens
turned socialist
red wheelbarrow
for flag

kdnxdr · Aug 9, 2006

chickens red
from the wheel
lie in the barrow
dressed in white

kdnxdr · Aug 9, 2006

chicken witness
of farmer's barrow
turned white
at the red,
wheeled in faint
refusing
to ever cross the road
again

Unique · Aug 9, 2006

white chickens
red sauce
Schezuan
tonight

Good Word · Aug 9, 2006

for the white chicken
so much depends upon
the red rooster that it's stapled to
and whether the rooster's mother
taught it to look both ways
before it crosses the friggin' road

A Soup-Song of Chicken.

Oh, chicken soup is wonderful.
And very good for you -
but it isn't quite as healthy
from the chicken's point of view.

So let us all be thankful,
as we savour every drop.
Be grateful for the food chain -
and the fact that we're on top.

red and white sign
chickens

All the red chickens
hated the white chicken
until the wheel barrow
ran over it-
Now ALL the chickens
are red.

gramma's apron was
white with black dots
and red heliotropes

to help me with my learning
she asked me to spell 'spurting'
while she chopped a chicken's head

-on the event of having failed my Andrew Carnegie class -again:

There is something about the face
of the White Towered Poet
the shock of weight and waft
when handed a live red chicken.

A. Hamilton · Aug 10, 2006

the greying poet
inspired by vibrant tales
of chicken butchers
chose teriyake for dinner
and set the pot to boil
