At daybreak

under an open sundrenched sky
eagles soar high up over snowcapped mountains
freedom is their calling card

love the image and the way you used that word skyscraping! I want to see one more poem and then I'm off here. Have a good weekend, Line.

A glorious image of America's majesty, Line! Though Florida has bald eagles, we don't see those beautiful mountains. We do have Great horned owls here. I will send you a Soup Mail. Best wishes for success in Brian's contest with this lovely haiku. Hugs, Carolyn
