James Fraser Poet Rhyme

Birds of Prey

Birds of prey
With eagle eyes
Spot their prey
And down they dive
 
Talons lead 
Wings spread
Clinical grab
Rabbit dead
 
Like winged royalty
These feathered kings
Majestic in flight
Superiority reigns
 
Buzzards, Falcons Hawks and Kites
In flight, my what a sight
Glide and float on thermal breeze
Like lookouts as they top the tree's
 
As they patrol their kingdoms skies
Terrain watching with their eyes
Movement in the undergrowth
Its natures wish, you pray for them both.

Sara Kendrick October 6, 2009 at 1:24 PM It is sad to see one animal die so that another can live. I like to see those fly high it is interesting to watch it seems so effortless however, I know that it is work. Won't be long before we will hear and see the Canadian geese in their v formatin flying south.. I love to see and hear them call to each other. Thanks for your comments on my work. Keep writing. Sara

Janette Fisher May 9, 2009 at 10:48 AM Ilove the way you write James - you have a great way of describing events. Birds of Prey are my favourite and you have summed the way they soar and fly with ease. Lovely poem ........Janette

Carolyn Devonshire April 28, 2009 at 3:25 PM Those last two lines really bring the message home well, James. We should tend to the needs of all God's creatures. Love your poetry!
