Click, Click

Spotted black, crouching low,
Approaching silent,very slow,
Large big eyes,spot him quick,
Race for life! Eyes click click!

Soaring high, measured round,
focussed search on the ground,
Talons poised for a sharp pick,
bunny dodges! Eyes Click, click!

Hooded hiss a deadly charmer,
Forked tongue, venom streamer,
Smooth, soft, and shining slick,
A Flying lizard! Eyes click click!

Sculpted beauty on the cat walk,
Whispers, whistles, it’s fashion talk,
Shutter speed and aperture trick,
A glorious shot! Camera click click!

A black box with a hole and lens,
Retinal screen with light balance,
man made camera size of a brick,
God’s tiny creation! Eyes win click!

Hello Krish … ah yes; the good old revenue raisers put in the same context as deadly predators. Well done indeed - thanks Krish - Lindsay

The eyes of hunting birds are clearly superior to the man-made camera - I like the sharp energy and visual lines of this, a great entry for the contest-

Thanks Michelle. I have held a £10,000 camera lens in my hand ( courtesy wild life photographer) and they do not compare with what our eyes can do !! Supreme creation!!

This is so fun to read again and again. I really enjoyed reading it aloud as it gives such a light rhythm. I wish this was a song. It would have been played on repeat. All the best for the contest. This is wonderful! :)
