I was looking up Wallace Stevens' "Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird," and found a site that took the poem and broke each stanza down into an interactive picture. The visual dimension added even more to the poem for me.
"Barbaric glass" as a split pane with a beginning and an end - a lens for an animal's "indecipherable cause" provides an interesting starting point for some writing..

Thinking back to one of Rumi's lines ("We are most beautiful when we are hungry"), there's just something about writing about the Animal. I also enjoy the juxtapositions of movement and the stillness of nature in Eliot's "Hollow Men."
