Golden Eagle Reigns

Calling out with his loud shrill cry
While winging through an azure sky,
Low clouds back light intrepid flight.
Strong talons grasp prey in sharp sight
As feathers float on current's wave,
I view a raptor bold and brave.
Majestic in his swooping quest
He soon returns to guard his nest.
Fledgling beaks open eagerly
Accepting gifts voraciously.
Tree top dwelling, their sacred home
Where King avian victors roam.
The golden eagle, soaring high,
Flies triumphant through autumn's sky.

Paul Callus Date: 10/11/2015 4:18:00 PM Your eagle reigns, Connie, for you give it wings! You paint lovely descriptive images of this bird of prey. I still have to prepare an entry for this contest; would have preferred to have no given words; they tend to give similarity to most entries. ~ hugs // paul Login to Reply Connie Marcum Wong Date: 10/23/2015 6:24:00 AM Thank you for such encouraging words Paul.
