Bird of Prey

Bird of prey will dive today,
His quarry soon consumed
From one mile high,
Will catch it’s eye,
So life goes on, 
resumed.

Touch not the chick ,
Of eagle quick,
Iron talons claw your face,
Flashing feathers ,
Clawed  and bit,
Begone, it’s not your place.

Our Aussie Eagle Hawk ,
Has a 6 foot span of wing,
Carries off a lamb in spring,
Old Rabbit sometimes feels the sting,
And still he flies of course:)  31-july-11
