Challenge
Write about a holiday meal from the point of view of the turkey.
Thanksgiving from a Turkey’s PoV
The air is alive with fear and sorrow.
As leaves fall to the ground, turkeys are killed.
I probably won‘t last until tomorrow;
I’ll be dead, and with stuffing I’ll be filled.
Turkeys everywhere cower in terror,
As humans run around with their big guns.
They come running out from their distant lairs;
They come to slaughter our daughters and sons.
Fear is in control of us as fall comes;
We scamper for our lives as the leaves fall.
As the death count reaches its highest sums,
Turkeys collapse where they once stood tall.
I have to think as I cower and hide,
Thanksgiving doesn’t look fun from this side.
