EASY PICKINGS ALREADY HALF-FORMED

A POEM TO OUR TURBO CHOOKS


EASY PICKINGS ALREADY HALF-FORMED


first, the turbo chooks troop

out of the undergrowth

fast-footed, vigilant with purpose

a red-eye tilt at half the clear hawk sky

patient, mother hen a pecking distance away

stitched to a season change

in and out of disappearing shadows

a peep of fuzzy black balls skitter, each

their own wrestle into tomorrow

some little known facts about Tasmania's Native Hen - the turbo chook.


When we first moved here 18months ago we immediately adopted the turbo chook as our logo for our new home/property. They have since created a larger space in our hearts.
