A baby ostrich

So little
depends
on a
baby ostrich
drowning in the sea

The above was written by Vamsi, one of the teenagers on the YES! course I taught in late June. Isn't it an awesome poem? I love the sheer imagery of it.

Oh, I thought Williams' poem was really popular and your friend had been inspired by it.

I was about to say that :)
Back in HS we had to remember 30 something reasons as to why it's a poem.
