The Chilling Birth of an Emperor

Eighty below and a blizzard blows
over the arctic ice and snow
a cracked egg between two legs
rests on a penguin's toes.

When a little beak takes a peek
at the white world outside its shell
continually trying to shed its confines
a baby bird bursts, into a frozen hell.

The father with love picks it up from above
tucks it into a bed of feathered fur
enchantingly genuine, a baby penguin
the chilling birth of an Emperor.

All the clouds gathered and witness this sight
born is a bird that will never take flight.

This tale took me to the bottom of the world, like a little National Geographic Special.

Wonderful Tale

Those darling images you give here are only wrecked when you think of the hard life they have .. and if one parent dies while fishing it's bad news. CP
