The Eagles are CryingThe eagles are crying, the news-people say,
And show us their pictures of sad birds of prey.
It seems they expect us to all shed a tear
Because the twin towers are no longer here.
But must I feel bad about this sort of stuff?
My mate and my offspring are duty enough.

Your national bird never had any say
In whether his country could use him this way.
I don't want to symbolize somebody's views,
Or be on a coin that I won't ever use.
Ben Franklin suggested the turkey instead.
Why couldn't this country have done what he said?

My hate for tall buildings is too strong for words.
Their transparent windows spell death for us birds.

When Life Gives Me LemonsWhen life gives me lemons, and water, and sugar,
It's sometimes worthwhile to make lemonade.
The world surely knows that I'd rather have root beer,
But not many drinks can from lemons be made.
My glass is half full of this sour concoction
I've never found very exciting to drink;
It seems like a waste of my water and sugar,
For which I could find better uses, I think.

But what do I do when my lemons are rotten,
And lemonade made from them makes me throw up?
And what if my cloud's silver lining was stolen,
And someone knocked over my once-half-full cup?
There wasn't a way on September eleventh
To make lemonade from a crashed hijack

Ode to DromaeosauridaeO terrible dromaeosaur,
What magic does your family hold;
No other beast can capture more
The minds and hearts of young and old?
What power does your kind possess
To bring such fame your savageness?

The hidden eyes of countless minds
Have seen the glory of your day.
What charm is it our species finds
In how you caught and killed your prey?
Do we enjoy the grief and pain
Imagining your victims slain?

Is it your half-developed wings?
The way your clavicles are fused?
The countless flight-related things
With earthbound ways of being used?
Do humans love you for the way
Your brothers rule the sky today?

There's something in the

Against All OddsDeinonychus was well designed to catch and kill his prey.
He carried on his second toe a claw to slash and slay.
While running at his frightful speeds he held it off the ground,
And swung it down to wield against whatever prey he found.
A stiffened tail for balancing, and sturdy grasping hands
Complete a beast whose sight was feared in all his ancient lands.

Deinonychus was well designed to catch and kill his prey—
That's what the hippie nineteen-sixties heard John Ostrom say.
To use a weapon on one's feet required skill and speed.
The tail too stiff to drag behind spoke also of this need.
This dinosaur, against all odds, was neithe

Bad MannersA Coelophysis once ate
A theropod caught by his mate.
A pterosaur snack
He offered her back,
In order to reciprocate.

The two of them made quite a mess,
And ate with their fingers, no less.
But no one was there
To watch them or care
What manners they failed to profess.

It quickly turned out that their eyes
Exceeded their stomachs in size.
Their entree of meat
Was left incomplete,
To spoil and then fossilize.

Its finders were quick with their claim:
The bones were a bird, hence its name,
So soon to begin
That dinosaur kin
Could not be the source whence it came.

Creationists loved the ordeal,
And wielded this error with zea

Deinonychus Linkby ~Agahnim

deviantART Related / deviantID

I liked Link's transformation into a wolf in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, but I would've liked this even better.

As with my previous submission, this picture uses an idea that I thought up several years ago. Playing A Link to the Past, in which Link transforms into a rabbit, made me wonder what kind of animal he could turn into that I would find more interesting. This was the first thing that came to mind, but I didn't have the motivation to actually draw it until after playing Twilight Princess.

Midna's helmet is really difficult to draw. I'm still not entirely satisfied with the job I did on it.

Link looks much more badass as a deiny

with the black and white.

~Saxophlutist Jun 27, 2007 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

!!!!!!
Feathers look cooler than fur anyway!
Go deinonychus Link!

This is really neat. I especially like the designs on Deinonychus Link's head...very cool.

~Agahnim Jun 27, 2007

Those are based on the designs Link has on his head when he’s transformed into a wolf in Twilight Princess. I only changed them very slightly, to make them fit the shape of a Deinonychus head.

~SlateGray Apr 6, 2007 Hobbyist General Artist

Heh. He looks like he's riding the deinonychus, and terrified of falling off.

~Agahnim Apr 6, 2007

Midna’s a she, actually.

If you ever get back into gaming, this is another game I think you’d enjoy. It’s really well-done the way Link’s abilities change when transforms into a wolf, such as giving him the ability to smell and hear things that he can’t as a human. Midna also likes to boss him around when he’s a wolf, which is kind of funny.

~NitronNinjaApple Mar 8, 2007

Midna is cute

(Not having played TP, I only have a slight idea of what her helmet looks like.) As for the idea, its awesome. Kickass Raptor Hylians forever!
