Image result for philippine eagle

Night casts shadows on hollowed ground An eagle flies, painful the screams; While reddish crown lifts, armed with grit That its rafters fight bleak of dreams. Wisps of clouds, like puffs of smoke Rage on stents of bushy trees Its royal pose and nest fledgling, Are caught up in a claw's tight squeeze. Soon mighty eagle flees by night, Wings swooping to escape arrest; To gather might for life ahead Unfolding freedom at its best. Dated 10/22/2015 Screwed Vlll Contest Sponsor: rob carmack ------------- ~Dedicated to the endangered Monkey Eagle of Asia which may become extinct due to unlawful hunting.~

The right metaphors facilitate the mood and the message. In many ways the composition feels intuitive; it is definitely sensitive to the theme, honoring it.Very effective and powerful write. Save the eagles!
