20 Chickens in the Literary Center!

I think this means @Nate has to write a chicken poem! : #truthordare

With the help of many talented YWSers the chickens have been saved!

Here's some of the most recent publications in YWS's premier chicken-genre for your reading enjoyment:

breaded chicken by @soundofmind : a reflective and nostalgic poem
when I speak of chickens by @Snoink a chicken poem with a little horror / shock intrigue
The Comedi-hen by @KateHardy is both humorous and punny!
The First Golden Goose and The Origins of the Knights: A KotGR Tale a rare work by @KotGRCommander (with some co-writing assistance by myself) is a short story featuring the much awaited origin story of KotGR which happens to involve a goose!
POV You Are A Chicken Who Just Made It Back From Town by @Corv is an intriguing poem that touches on that age old question "why did the chicken cross the road"
The Potentiality of Infinite Chickens by @Liminality is a playful and inventive look at chickens from the eyes of a child!
you are surely not a goose or you would know exactly what i'm saying is one of my most philosophical poems yet. not for the faint of heart. very serious stuff. also featured in COOP: chickens of our poetry zine!
Chickenstein a shortstory by @Lucrezia is a fast paced parody of Frankenstein that I think you'll enjoy!

That's some good reading! For all the chicken-literature you can go to the "All Literary" tab and click that "Chicken" genre! Take a read, and maybe you'll even be inspired to join in on the fun!

(And if any of you chicken authors are looking for a spot to submit you chicken stories or poems... COOP zine is taking submissions - more info and terms on our website. Also if you're not a part of the YWS Chicken Fan Club today's the perfect day to join.)

I really like this! It kind of made me laugh, but it also kind of made me go, Oh, the poor little eraser dog!!! It's a very original idea, and I hope you don't mind if I say it was a cute poem. The language use was great. I also like how you made a serious point - whether intentionally or unintentionally - about the fact that someone always suffers when mistakes are made. And a further reading-into (aka dissection like we do in English class ALL THE TIME) could bring up a message about animal abuse, although I personally like to just enjoy poems, not dissect them.

All in all, I think this is a great poem, and I hope to see more like it. You're very creative!
