The red fox and the lady
Covered yellow sands
Lady to red fox said
Birds are coming here to land.

The bat and the rare queen
Dusting flowers together went
The rare seeming hardly there to know
Just want the bat meant.

The information said
The birds the lady saw
Then the red fox became triumphant
Escaping the cat’s claw.

Open avenues are rarely demanding.
The birds enjoyed their landing.

I found much of this incomprehensible - not least because you have twisted the syntax so much :

Lady to red fox said - why not 'Lady said to red fox' ?

Dusting flowers together went - should surely be 'they went together' ?
