Mates For Life

He soars and roars in robust and majestic might, he never knew that life would take him through this flight, and on the cliffs of the mountains he sees the light, of taking off into nothingness in the night. He knew one day his mate would fly out of his sight, but his talons grasp the rock and he starts to fight. His love used to be so tender and a delight, she showered his golden feathers, was so polite. She was the princess of the cliff, he was the knight, and if only one more escape they’d be alright, because when gliding up high their love does ignite. sweet Bald Eagles should mate for life and hold on tight.

A superb example of monorhyme well executed and with a marvelous theme as an extra bonus. Well done! JH

An extended metaphor that could be applied well to many marriages. My high school mascot was the Golden Eagle. Well-done, Laura; best of luck; super monorhyme. My favorite line: (the light) "of taking off into nothingness in the night."

Now that he is gone, describe the eagle at your own pleasure, golden or bald. Still an enjoyable piece, regardless.

I changed the name to bald eagles instead- I didn't want to associate with that guy
