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

Thank you Susan! I love all birds but there is some kind of other worldly perfection with those guys ;), xomo

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.

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.

Oh that must have been so thrilling and delicate! I love that you respect them so. Thank you my friend! Any friend of a falcon is a friend of mine. ;), xomo
