When forthwith a fowlA Poem by Emmanuel OlatunjiThe bringing of beauty and candor by a fairly ordinary fowl.
The sky was dour and the earth was dank
Those noisy b******s that wake one up in the morning where nowhere to be found It was indeed a morning unlike most The leaves in the trees where still with an all but stagnant yet chilling breeze Clouds of mist where on the verge of rolling down the hills, but remained reluctantly still Not a single being stirred on that placid and tranquil morning The earth was all but motionless; when forthwith a fowl A feathered creature of the sky settled on the parapet outside Enveloped in blithesome hues, the fowl resembled an infantile olive warbler Flaunting simple browns conflicted and complimented by the vibrant oranges It was truly an apparition suitably capturing exuberant pulchritude as well as undeniable simplicity And then it flitted of into the placid mist, leaving behind a mundane day like any other.
