A Poem About Combs

I asked AI to write me a poem about chickens, I found it very touching:

Ode to the Backyard Queens

In the hush of dawn they take the stage,
Small queens of coop and wire-bound cage.

With amber eyes and scarlet crowns,
They rule the dust of barnyard towns.

They scratch the earth with patient feet,
Turn hidden worlds in search of treat—
A beetle’s gleam, a fallen seed,
The simple wealth of daily need.

Their gossip hums in cluck and trill,
Soft as rain on window sill.

A feathered parliament convened
Where every crumb is closely screened.

At noon they bask in golden light,
Plumes aglow, a humble sight.
Then sudden—thunder, brief and bright—
A frantic flap of comic flight.

And when at last the daylight thins,
They tuck their beaks beneath their chins.
Dreaming, perhaps, of endless grain
And sun-warmed dust and summer rain.

Oh chickens, plain and yet profound,
You stitch your peace into the ground.
In every egg, in every call,
You offer quiet life to all.
