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.

Beautifully written. I have only seen them on tv but from the pictures it is a beautiful sight. We have the southern eagle that is supposed to be around here but I have not seen one. Keep writing. Sara

Another brilliant use of descriptive words, for one of my favourite birds.

"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

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
