POEM STARTER

Submitted by Space Cadetter

Write an ode to an extinct animal, without ever saying the animal’s name - this rule also applies to the title.

Passing By

Poetry

Flying by / north to south / east to west

Stealing food / drinking water / passing by

Orange underbelly / dark grey body / flying peacefully

Shots fires / 3 to 5 / billion

$1,500 lost / from countless numbers / infinite multitudes

The last one alive / Martha / died tragically

1 p.m / 1 September / 1914 / age 29

At the Cincinatti Zoological Garden
