A/N: I wrote these two poems for English class. I think they both refer to gryphons.
Flight
She sits, waiting
On the block
Suddenly,
There! The signal!
Legs muscles bunch,
Then stretch
Claws furrowing the wood
Wings snap out
Starting to beat
Tail held high
Away from her claws
Beak and head
Straining upwards
She soars
I am too young
I wish I could fly,
But I am too young.
The others, they soar
Through the sapphire sky
I wish I could fly,
But I am too young
Bigger birds
Wing through the sky
I wish I could fly,
But I can only plummet.
I know they're short, but for those of you who are interested, I should be posting the second chapter of Jasan's Chosen tomorrow.
