The turkey, fat and old,1
at the barnyard really cold, 2
frost and lost some were born, 3
on this morn. 4

the crow, black and bold,5
knew stories new and told,6
sawed and cawed at his friend, 7
warning of the repeated trend. 8

the turkey, not so bold, 9
saw the farmer coming to hold, 10
the plump rump of this bird, 11
a ding dong ding could be heard, 12

the crow, free and lean, 13
knew exactly what he'd seen, 14
flew and grew in the forest, 15
for him was the best! 16

The poem is an unconventional sonnet; it develops a main idea in the first twelve lines, and is capped by a big thought in the final couplet. the poem follows a narrator describing the industriousness of nature’s creatures, preparing for the coming spring. all of creation is at work, but the speaker is sullen as the only creature he can see who finds himself without an occupation.

There are many things that you can do to lessen your test anxiety, if not avoid it completely. first, make sure that you've read each lesson and prepared for the test appropriately. if you've gone over everything, there is no need to feel afraid of the test because the teacher cannot ask you anything you don't already know. it is also important to take a lot of breaks to let your brain rest a bit - so you should study for about 40-50 minutes, then make a 10 minute break where you can stretch or check your social media. i believe these strategies are important because they will you reduce your stress levels and make you realize that you are panicking for no reason.
