Answer 1

This is a poem I wrote, you can use it if you'd like:

If only I were a bird

I'd fly away in a blink of an eye

leaving everything behind

without a care in the world

The sky once spoke to me

saying I'd fly one day

I didn't believe him at first

but then,

that day came

I never thought it'd come

The other animals doubted us

a fox with wing?

how absurd!

and when I flew,

I could feel the sky carrying me through the clouds

they could do nothing but

stare at us in awe

The sky and I

Had proved them wrong
