How The Eagle Made The Sky Poem by Tony Adah

The eagle dived into the blue sea
Took the azure colour
In its wings,
He flew high and low
Looking for the colour white
And stumbled upon a farmer's field
There abound bolls of cotton
White as snow.
He prostrated before the farmer
Knowing he's used to harassing
His chickens
What do you want, Carnivorous king?
The farmer asked happy he didn't
Have to chase his visitor
Behind his yard.
Some cotton bolls, the eagle said
On one condition, I'll give you
My cotton bolls,
If you leave my chickens alone.
Very well said the flesh eater
Who got the white bolls and soared
Up with the blue he had from the sea
Added them to the void above
To to make the sky
The reason why often the sky looks
White and blue.
