Connie Marcum Wong Poet Couplet

Notes About The Poem

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.

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 Connie Marcum Wong October 23, 2015 at 6:24 AM Thank you for such encouraging words Paul.

Andrea Dietrich October 11, 2015 at 4:09 PM oh connie, I finally did mine too. Just did not post it yet. you did superbly with the words given. too bad we did not have THESE poems ready to submit when we learned about the raptor magazine!!! Connie Marcum Wong October 11, 2015 at 7:14 PM I was thinking about that too. Her specific word choices made this a bit of a challenge for me. Can't wait to read yours. Thanks Andrea.
