A lyric poem is a short poem with a single speaker expressing personal thoughts and feelings. Lyric poems can be written in traditional or open forms. They cover many subjects, from love and death to everyday experiences, and create a strong, unified impression.
The Wind is a Living Thing
is a stark reminder of eternity
clawing its way upward
toward a tawny peak
is a black hawk circling
searching the fields for
one bones that are picked
clean and shiny
is a fawn wandering too far
abroad a field and
being hunted at dawn
is an uttered sigh
and silent roll
of r's that distinguish
themselves of all that may be
The wind is a living thing
