The Eagle

The Eagle

The eagle, sits and wait
like a thief, he gapes 
Not knowing, when he is going to strike
His prey, roams 
With stretched out wings, he glides
Without warning, he bolts
 
His crockett toes,  he curls
Snatching his prey
With power, he flies  
Taking them, on high
As he sinks his beak and rips apart
He is still a beautiful bird
With, very keen eyes

I have a poem about the red-tail hawk, it's beauty in flight, its terror when it strikes. So I can appreciate your poem. Thanks for the stop by. Best to you. / M
