Majestic Eagle

Majestic Eagle

Imagine the sights
of an eagle's keen eyes,
gracefully gliding
through soaring blue skies.
Dominion she known
since the earliest days,
Kings of the air
even natives would praise.

Regal in nature
with confident class,
no movement unseen
should her eyes chance to pass.
A warrior hunter
with valor and grace,
no match is her prey
in the predators race.

The size of her talons
are gripping with fear,
while the smallest of sounds
can't escape from her ears.
A life like a Phoenix
amidst it's ascension, 
worthy of honor, 
respect and attention.

Her powerful wings
a sight to behold,
so fitting her castings
are polished in gold.
Sharp as a razor
her beak takes its prey.
a natural warrior's predator way.

Aside from her grandeur 
of honor and pride,
the eagle is from
whom the rest of all hide.
No match for 
her majesty, power and size,
even great owls 
find respecting her wise.

A well studied write, Jeannie! In the fourth stanza it should be 'takes its prey'. Keep writing with the same fervour.

Jeannie: You suggested "you are a bit nervous putting your work out there". I can assure you, Majestic Eagle is better than anything I've done and they've always been very kind to me on the Soup. :o) Keep them coming. oldbuck
