A Poem About Chicken

I went for a walk this afternoon and I saw a bird escaping some mynas.
It rested under a tree and so I sat near it for a while as I wanted to make sure the mynas left. I found out it was someone’s beloved pet and I hesitated on trying to grab it, which was a really bad decision.
After a few minutes it quite suddenly took off, and the mynas were chasing it once more.

I decided to write about the bird here. What I’m trying to do is make sense of why the bird was there, and why it had flown away from home. However, the writing is sloppy and it doesn’t convey what I’m trying to get across well.

I hope you enjoy.

Little Chicken, you are so far from home.
Have you lost your way?
Did you want to wander?
Do you know how to return?

Little Chicken, vicious beaks wait for you.
Are you scared?
Can you keep going?
Is your brief rest enough?

Little Chicken, your leaving is quick.
Can’t I help you?
Have you found safety?
Do you know how to get home?
