Rising Swan

Swap of a Duck

On a sunny day, near a spring

Timidly, just before dawn time

Emerged a chick over the rime

Leaving an eggshell, wondering

All around, he can see a house,

A spring on this flourishing spring,

A farmyard ringed by a string,

And one self-centered running mouse

The scary night might has come soon

So the chick concocts his shelter ;

Surrounded by warmth, down the moon

None of noises would have matter.

The day after, when waking up

A new neighborhood has spread out

As cows, pigs, sheep who watch that sprout

Akin to ducks of a strange type

But he grew up as a chicken

With unique body and rare wings ;

Other beasts would lead him broken

In the name of fears, using slings.

By David Clode on Unsplash

One day he was too much harassed

His wings gave jolts with intense strength,

Opening them in all their length,

Revealing failures he amassed ;

He didn't know at that moment

The magnificence he was in

As a male swan - its allurement

Only a reflect would show him.
