A/N: This is an ongoing poetry story about Mara, a half-falcon, half-raven that lives in Wyvern's Court. She is my own creation. This first chap might be a little strange, and it's short. If you want to hear more about Mara, she appears in the story "Karma: Deformity Is A Curse" by Starlight and Notebook.

Please review! Thanks, Dusk.

(Fly.)

Fly with grace.

Little falcon child,

Little raven girl.

Spreading iridescent wings

To fly for the first time.

Wandering in the market,

Never suppressing

that falcon pride.

But twisting, turning, in sleep--

dreaming of Ahnmik

(beautiful city) and

pretending not to be a mongrel.

Playing in the hills

of Wyvern's Court

(affectionate, mixed-blood)

brings happiness--

but feeling lonely anyway.
