under a perfect sun

blind boy passionately crows

a hen squats then shakes

scratching leaves with intent

the peeping chicks rush in

disappearing worm

sun slides into sea

perching in their favorite trees

hens bathe in moonlight

clucking their response

the feathered friends go strolling

chicken sister talk

smallest of the flock

on tiptoe to peck their backs

gestapo chicken

the pecking order set

chicken intelligence wins

run away quickly
