PWYW Haibuns for Eggs! (OPEN)

Hello hello!! I uh. Really need eggs for modulators lol. SO hey. You. Do you want writing of your chicken? A haibun, perhaps?

If you don't know what a haibun is, it's a mixture of prose and haiku. In its most typical form (and the form I will be doing here), it starts with prose and concludes with a haiku. I don't have a chicken example prepared but here's a short haibun I wrote that'll be close to what you're getting, but with chicken and slightly longer (around 100-300 words):

Dew remaining from the June thunderstorm glistened in the moonlight. The ground of the forest, still faintly charred by wildfire, teemed with life beneath its regrowing vegetation. The earliest of the fireflies danced in the night, blinking like green sparks from the blaze’s aftermath. Beneath a burnt log, there was an ever-so-small movement.

The glowworm escaped
From their pupa, spread their wings
And joined midnight flames.

I'll take any amount of eggs for this! Ask about alternative forms of payment, but keep in mind I may say no. Also, edits are free. To order, please fill this form:
Username:
Chicken: (link or embed)
Personality: (your chicken's personality so I know who I'm working with)
Setting: (a place for the haibun to take place in)
Emotion OR Plot: (an emotion to theme the haibun around OR a short, rough plot to follow)
Payment: (how many eggs?)
Notes?: (any other notes you may have for me!)

5 slot limit for now, TAT two weeks but expect it sooner (I just have a lot of writing responsibilities, especially in October).

Autumn vibes, peaceful, maybe a little haunting, maybe it can be about them sitting in a pumpkin field in autumn hahaha.
