The Abyss of Heaven

the abyss of heaven
was a small town
where everybody knew each other
and the only industry was a small waterfowl design company
and people would come up on the street
and say
"howdy"
and then one day
they came
the storms
that would not stop
for 99 nights
and days
rain and hail
and lightning
blighted that small town
but they were strong
they built waterfowl
with
superpowers
and used them
to fight
the wrath
of the angry gods
and the final battle
the trumpet-swan
white as snow
did soar into the air
and beat its wings
with the vigour
unparalled
and he blew away the storms
for he had the strength of hope in the people
the folks
they believed in him
and gave him strength
and his wings sparkled
and the flapped
and then one day
the sun came
for the first time
in months
and then
they celebrated
for life was good
also they had cake
the end

Another poetry-inspired piece. I provided the phrases "The Abyss of Heaven" and "Waterfowl Design", and David created something wonderful. Hooray!
