clucking from the old barn
wolf howls at Hunter’s moon
hens fall silent
clucking from the old barn
winner takes all
a cocky tom struts
wolf howls at Hunter’s moon
hush of the forest
rustling leaves taunt
hens fall silent
butcher does a head count,
Thanksgiving

I may change butcher to another name…it seems so gruesome. I’m not as available to write at CDHK lately with OctPoWriMo but am enjoying catching up on your responses:)

Wonderful Cheryl ! Beautiful haiku stanzas !
The first one is so lofty and classical …. And then the last one is grotesquely admirable !
