Queen of Sky

blessed with yellow beak
a dark colored queen parade 
in sweet scents of  life


jealousy soaks mates 
as her white neck bracelet
seduce surrounding


at the peeps of dawn
she sings suiting serenade
to her nesting kids


she flies and perches 
beneath duty-poised sunshine
hunting for her kids


while at cold-veiled nights 
she wing-secures her sweet kids
as silent murmurs

Very well described my friend. It has really good imagery. Just so you know an eagles babies are called eaglets. A kidd is a baby goat. Great job here though. A most enjoyable read. God Bless, JB

How beautifully you describe this bird, Joey. Especially loved the line about her "white neck bracelet." I'm wondering what type of bird this is. Great write! Love, Carolyn
