                               Gurgling mountain streams
                          the deer drink from mountain pools
                                    One eagles soar low
                                raptors eyes powerful lens
                              - relentlessly ground attack

Duke Beaufort November 25, 2024 at 10:45 AM Anne-Lise, such is nature in the wild...you describe it well. I would hope we're wise enough to leave as pristine the tract like this that you describe. Smiles!

Silent One November 15, 2024 at 10:22 AM You are so good at these short forms.. the use of words and imagery are just awesome...

Andrea Dietrich November 15, 2024 at 8:53 AM Oh my. I would not think they'd attack such a big animal! Anne-Lise Andresen November 15, 2024 at 9:49 AM - In very special cases during the winter months, eagles can take deer and smaller reindeer, up to approx. 40 kg, Andrea :) - hugs

Valsa George November 15, 2024 at 7:44 AM Hi Anne, raptors fly low when they see a prey. They attack chicks and small rodents. The jungle law is 'might is right'. Well penned with a beautiful image. Love and hugs.

Tom Cunningham November 15, 2024 at 7:16 AM Nature can be cruel at times but then again every creature has to eat to survive.. Enjoy the weekend Anne Lise. Tom

Karen Jones November 15, 2024 at 2:31 AM Love the imagery and the photo!

Evelyn Judy Buehler November 14, 2024 at 5:58 PM So true that nature can be both cruel and kind. A beautiful poem and picture. :) hugs
