This Crested King

entry picture

Atop the coop this crested king

Painted coat and clip-ped wing

Awakened by his morning call

His hen harem, a fowl thrall

 

Breast out-thrust, majestic stance

Feathered beau, strutting dance

What elegance he does exude

To entrance his aim, this exalted dude.

This my favourite so far - good description of a rooster - would have liked to have seen a couple more verses though...

I agree about that last stanza I think it would `strut` more if the lines were shorter.

(I like the possibilities of the `fowl thrall`Is this boss guy captive and henpecked by a bevy of less than beautiful ladies?) Neat though.

Cute. Check your rhythm of the second stanza; a couple of changes would work wonders and keep the humour strong.
