Andrea Dietrich Poet Etheree

The Golden Eagle

The 
golden
eagle flies
through billowed clouds
training his keen eye
on slight movement below.
Swooping, he clutches a hare.
Swift is the kill; now to a tree
he makes his way, carrying his prey
while calling to his fledgling in the nest.

Written 10/14/15 For the Golden Eagle contest of Shadow Hamilton

Words used: Flies, clouds, Tree, nest, Fledgling, Calling, swooping.
