She's Chicken and I Love Her

I
She's now almost four months old
He is at least four months older
She is half-sister, sharing a mother
So far, she, Kaalnek, somewhat bolder
Than her half-brother, somewhat Christian
Remains pure, virgin, or I'm no "farmer-observer" 

II
Kaalnek is the bare-necked pet, my Chicken
She refuses the advances of Mr. Five
He courts so arduosly, like other species
Of bird and fowl, clucks with excited voice
And delicious tidbits, morsels for poultry
She may have enjoyed his attention
But remains on the run ... Incest unwelcome?

I can picture him clacking and flapping his wings for Kaalneck, but she knows better. This is very Christian of her. A sweet and profound Christian story...waiting for the ending! Be well, ~Anaya

I enjoy the humor and love of life expressed in this poem. The adoration of simple animals is so bright and hopeful! Another nicely penned poem, Anil!

Your response elevates my poem, my simple enjoyment of animals, even as I'm missionary to a difficult ethnic group in RSA

I called Kaalnek a Christian girl. Now ... For how long? Maybe she'll insist upon marriage FIRST, LOL! Shalom shalom Sis
