Hello, sheyren!
It's not often that there's a work in the Literary Spotlight that's still in the Green Room. Or maybe it happens very often, and I'm just not paying attention. Regardless, I've taken it upon myself to remove it!
The definition that you used bandwagon is rather clinical, and extremely literal, which traditionally wouldn't fit the tone of a poem like this, but it almost adds to the element of surprise when the reader discovers that this is, in fact, another chicken poem. The font in the second half of the poem also highlights the change in tone. The first half is very straightforward, blunt, and no-nonsense. The second segment, however, is much more flowery, adorned with a unique structure and a certain... je ne sais quoi that brings the puzzle pieces closer together before the grand, egg-laying, foul-based reveal. Some might say that the title ruins the sense of shock and wonder by prematurely revealing this poem's secret, but I say Nay! In an act of artistic genius, you've managed to set up the reader's expectations for a chicken poem, averted them with a definition of a seemingly unrelated word, then circled BACK to the chicken theme, creating a sensation that I can only really describe as akin to being slapped in the face with a wet fish, but in a good way.
I sincerely hope this review was helpful, and I wish upon you only the finest of #RevMo 's. Good day to you sir!
