sassafras tree yields
a bounty of purple fruit -
wild turkeys give thanks


Author Notes
The sassafras tree is known for the roots that yields a flavor between vanilla and licorice - used in making drinks long before root beer became popular. The leaves turn yellow, orange, scarlet and purple in the fall. And it bears juicy purple fruit in autumn that birds like to eat - especially wild turkeys.
