148. three chickens


 
on the way home
three chickens
two white and one orangey-red....
made me hungry
for eggs



—I once lived in a big city neighborhood with closely set houses, where I seldom saw animals in my daily walks.  One time, though, walking along the sidewalk, I heard some unusual clattering of sound behind a tall fence.  I got up on my toes and peered down onto three chickens....clucking and strutting their chicken dance.  Fun!
