Their visits unannounced
firt light,last light
midday,midnight
by self elective, stays are brief
I know them
for the samenes of their everyday dress
fitting attire mind you
handsomely done
albeit a bit drab
black boas, red combs
wild turkey hens come to visit
come to stare
bold as one of their species
nearing Thanksgiving dare
strut a little, scratch earth a little
snatch a grub or two
turn, look at me
nonchalantly taking their leave
jabbering in the parlance of wild things
to the trees beyond
three ladies of great social aplomb
..."three ladies of great social aplomb"...Happy belated Thanksgiving...Gerard
Fine sure touch here, perfect moment laced with irony and wry humour and genuine wonder. Beautiful!

They scattered everywhere, pooping on my car, but none ended up as T-Day dinner--drats!
