Doris Culverhouse Poet Narrative

Soul of An Eagle Life of a Penguin

Soaring in my mind above the blue skies.
Warmth penetrating across my brow.
Diving to feel a cool breeze and soaring again
On strong wings. Time is no importance while on top today.

I look across the vast sea and know I can swim fast and free.
I float, dart and flipper my way to this destination. 
Mostly content though when I gaze upward...
Fleeting thoughts of discontentment come as flashes of light.
My dream...to soar as an eagle, majestic, across the sky.

Sara Kendrick June 26, 2010 at 2:00 AM Excellent idea to go with on this one..Penguin can't fly, live where it is cold, and waddle when they walk...However, they are excellent swimmers...Good luck on this one in the contest..Mom

Carolyn Devonshire June 25, 2010 at 9:17 AM Oh, I love this analogy. We often think we are bigger, stronger and more significant than we are. Can relate to the feelings of this penguin, Doris. This goes to my faves and I wish you success in the contest! Love, Carolyn
