Jay Del Fierro Poet Free verse

Amusing Pastime In the Air....

Up high...
gracefully moving in it's circular motion
an Eagle soars between the sun and the earth...
local ravens,those earthly attendants,
rise to playfully pursue their majesic friend...
their jovial caws and beak nipping,an aerialist sport,
after a while,becomes a distractive annoyance...
so...with a tip of a wing,and a tilt of the tail,
the Eagle fastens itself upon a thermal and
effortlessly,glides away toward calmer space,
....smiling at the jokesters left behind....
