High Note

Sharp eyes
and sharper wings
with the speed and accuracy
perfection brings
when a falcon cuts the sky in half

My heart sings

James Swartz Date: 1/1/2020 11:16:00 AM I see them almost daily out here. They are things of beauty when they glide and then dive. Your poem matches their beauty in every word.

Timothy Mcguire Date: 12/13/2019 3:54:00 PM I like this one! Perigone Falcons have been killing one of my chickens every week. Doesn't make me angry They are doing what they were designed to do. Fabulous birds. So I put netting over my coop and one still managed to get in. He couldn't get out so I caught him by hand and set him free.
