A feathered family. The Kingdom of Streams

The world was meeting dawn,
when a big feathered stork
flew over the frost fields.
There was something on sand.
The stork wanted to land
to see the catching thing.

The bird had come quite close.
It picked the flute from frost
inanimate grey earth.
The bird examined well
the gift, that had been sent
by skies to cheer small storks.

The big white winged bird
made for a wide brown oak,
which held the hugest nestle.
There was three small cute storks.
They strongly waited for
the parents, making wail.

The father reached the nestle.
Three chicks began to wrestle.
Each tried to get the flute.
They had been fighting for
the magic gift too long.
The stork looked very gloom.

The bird deprived the pipe.
The chicks made loud cries.
It was completely late.
The stork opened the beak.
The skies’ provoking gift
was falling down the nestle…
