Proud They Stand

Eagles stare bleakly
Icy, frozen lake hides food --
     Help from human hands


For the Bald Eagles contest -- an interpretation of the photograph

Glad to see that the bald eagles are once more flying free. As you know they were an endangered species. Your haiku is a fine tribute to them. Peace & Blessings Matthew Anish

Perfect take on the picture Diane. It's saddening to see just one species hungry, knowing that there are many many more. Good luck in Carolyn's contest, as they are always kool >> James :)
