TheBanyanTree: Just sharing...

[Sharon Mack]

>From my writing workshop...

Write a poem that uses an animal as a metaphor for an emotion. 
Example:  A tiger could be anger.

Prompt from Writer's Digest, 2004




LAMENTATION

Winged fellow
Entered in and blew a song my way
No comfort in his small frail frame
Just sorrow and a name,

Lamentation
Lamentation
Flying well below
Wings of fire
Wings of smoke
Bringing brass and shame.
