“Bright red sumac blooms.
Leaves with warm colors swirling.
Snow is imminent.

Wild turkeys wander
Brown to blend in and survive.
Free to roam and forage.

Pearly, white beauties
Coddled and grain fed. Plump birds
Ready for Holiday feasts.

Nets of black lace limbs
Catch roosting turkeys at night.
The barn for pearly whites.

Stark contrasts reveal
“Survival of the fittest”
Is not always accurate.”
