Kestrel

Sailing up and down the sky Hovering over the moist heathers Soaring and sliding high Dawning grey and brown feathers. Spreading her wings with expertise Unfurling her stripped tail, She glides through the wind with ease Looking as light as the dancing gale. A descendant of voracious predators She dives sharp down to her prey, She possesses the vitality of deadly raptors There is no chance of her catch getting away. She nests in aspens at the edge of a meadow You can find her in the marshlands, She may also be at the swamp out your window But it is the open wild that she demands. 12th March 2023 Contest: Writing Challenge K words Sponsored by Constance La France
