Just a Short Story I Scrapped Together...

Ok, this was supposed to be a poem on assignment for class, but it turns out my teacher thought it was too long and was more of a short story. So I suppose why not share it here. Anyway here is the short story anyway! I got two more.

I Am, The Peregrine Falcon

I soared with the wind on my charcoal-blue wings, amongst the blue background of the sky. I chuckled like only a creature with a deadly sharp hooked beak could as I watched those two legged fools below, wanting to fly, like me. I hardly felt sympathy for such creatures, creatures who poisoned my forefathers and beyond. I then swooped and fluttered away from the creations of bricks and concrete. I found something more to my liking, a large area, filled with meadows and fields, the very same place that hosted my helpless prey. I settled on a large cliff as the light of day dissipated. I feel into a light sleep, but alert as a mouse on watch, as the brisk night settled in. As the ball of fire in the distance rose, I flew with it, rising up and up away, into the heavens. I was now hunting, my golden-brown eyes scanned and surveyed the sky below me, not the fields or meadows. I did not want the ignorant mice or the hares, the hares were much to big for me, finally, I spied my prey, a simple rock pigeon, off to the city it seemed. My instincts of predation were alerted now and I angled my wings to form a sharp curve, if you could call it that. I had earned the title of the fastest animal on earth, and the reason why I had that title was now evident, I was zipping down at 200 mph in the sky. That was speeds that those humans would compare to a race car driver, no, no, a NASCAR driver, who rode at exhilarating speeds on the track. But you had no idea how vigorous it was doing it in pure thin air. I was now tackling the pigeon in mid air, it was now or never, I locked my talons and dug my sharp deadky and cruel beak into the bloodied pigeon. I ate quickly and off I flew, free in the sky. For I am, the Peregrine Falcon.

Very nice, Sandtiger! A little rough in some places, but it is fluid and engaging. Good work!
