i'm experimenting with writing with my non-dominant left hand. i'm going to be writing one poem a day in this way, hoping to trigger and strengthen the right side of my brain... and memories.
Time to fly
said the little eagle
Time to release
the exasperated ego
I'm taking a trip
to the other side of my brain
I'm tired of being alive
with my eyes closed
Begging for crumbs
I put sand in the machine
This eagle is an anarchist
The kiss of life is death
Woe the elements in
the eagle's nest
The pauvre petite eaglets
in the afterglow of knowledge
Red spiders enter the nest
and eat the half-baked chicks
When full moon comes
the wing's on fire
Each rapid beat of heart
facisimile
When one flies with fire
there is authentic music
Eagle eye morning star
sun moon and sky above
Terror on the earth below
as mothers sing to their babies

Laura, I really like this one. What a great beginning with that near-rhyme (eagle/ego)... that is brilliant. But the poem rings like a bell... warning or call to arms? We fight not against flesh and blood...
Like the poem. Love the idea.
