Matthew Brackley Poet Ballad

Bird of Prey

A flash of wing............. 
Exploded feathers....... 
Bird of prey 
Nature's way 
Raptor's thing 

The Falcon's speed 
Victim,pays no heed 
Aerial violence, 
in the sunlit blue silence 

The Hawk........ 
flashing by 
High speed dart in the sky 

The kestrel............ 
Hovering above ground 
The assassin............ 
Kills without a sound 

Mighty Eagle............ 
Lord of the sky 
Feathers of gold 
Mighty Eagle, 
So bold 

Bird of prey........... 
Slash of beak....... 
Rip of talon 
Hunting, the only day 

Flashing shadow 
Feathers ,glow 
Prey ,to die 
Bird of prey 
Lord of sky 

The sun,at your back 
You, make your attack 
The keen eye, 
surveys, all the sky 

Masters of the air 
Eagles lair 
Compete, if you dare 
Your life ,not to spare

Sara Kendrick October 2, 2009 at 5:46 AM Delightful read. I read a book about a man one time and I can not reminder the title right now. He kept a falcon. That story opened my eyes more to these magnificent creatures. The way that you put it together is great. Keep writing. Sara
