A seagull's feather spirals
From the sky, and tells to me
Time's chasing him
However far he'll fly;
The blue is deep
And infinite, and he believes
He's free -
Remember, Earth pulled Icarus
Down to the wine-dark sea.

A lovely poem, I really like it. Are the capitals at the start of each line intentional? I found them a little distracting.

Indrani Ananda It's funny you should say that, Shoe. I find it the other way round when I read poetry, if there are no capitals I seem to need to read it two or three times. I think it may be a modern thing to ditch capitals. If I don't have capitals beginning each line, it doesn,t somehow seem like poetry to me. Thanks for your comment, though. Indrani.
