POEM STARTER
Flight
Write a poem about an animal flying. It could be from the perspective of the animal, someone watching their flight, or anything connected. Try to build an atmosphere related to the perspective you write from.
Hollow Bones
Curls of torrent winds lift her feathered wings,
Up
Up
Up
She goes.
Spinning like that on threads of air,
She is a beast,
Commanding the clouds beneath her grace,
She was never really meant to fly,
Her bones too paper thin and fragile to bear the harshness of the elements,
But for a moment, she becomes as light as the clouds themselves,
As weightless as air and smoke,
Though there might be a day she will fail to fly,
A day she might plummet to the earth,
For now she is boundless,
And it seems,
That day has yet to come.
