I Am An Eagle

I am the symbol of power and might and I have excellent sight With my sharp talons I capture prey They call me bald, but I'm just "gray" I fly over rivers to hunt for fish Which happens to be my favorite dish From a high perch, I observe my domain I am at the top of my food chain As I soar through the sky looking for prey, with my sharp eye I spot a rabbit trying to flee, that little fella will be dinner for me. ---- Eagle means ---> illumination of spirit, creation, Divine, Spirit (feathers are sacred healing tools).

I saw a bald eagle about a month ago and they are quite majestic birds. You've done a great job of personifying them, Joseph. Good luck in Andrea's contest!

Eagles are such divine, powerful, incredible creatures! I am having a hard time thinking of words to use here that you haven't already used in your beautifully descriptive poem. -Ashley :)
