Fly Like An Eagle

Fly like an Eagle
Soaring so high
On thermal winds
On the open sky
 
Pride in their glide
Awesome in pose
Downward wings
Upward flows
 
The elegant Eagle
Feathered in brown
Spanned for flight
A bird so right
 
To stand below
And look above
This bird of birds
I've grown to love.

Tamra Amato Date: 5/5/2009 4:48:00 PM beautiful, beautifully written. I'm there, right there with the eagle. Your poem visually looks like an eagle perched, tall, majestic, regal...on the page... "the bird of birds." awesome write! Login to Reply

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 5/5/2009 9:20:00 AM "Elegant" is a good way to describe these majestic birds "Soaring so high...Pride in their glide." You will not find it surprising that I love these birds as you do, James. Florida has more bald eagles than any other state and eggs from nests here are being used to increase the eagle population in other states. I feel like I've just had a free flight on the wings of an eagle. Beautifully written! Love, Carolyn Login to Reply

Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen Date: 5/4/2009 5:16:00 PM Ah, James you must be in the Northwest US. Ive heard the eagles are beautiful and plentiful in Washington State. Your poem does them justice. My Ingrid took some wonderful eagle pictures when living there. I'm not sure whether those pictures are on his website or not...I'll ask. Soup Mail me if you want the website if they're one it. Seems like I alway think of something when I read your poetry. You write so well. Love, Dane Login to Reply
