Notes About The Poem

Note:  I was surprised that large eagles will also hunt wolves and other mammals for prey.

 

The Hungry Eagle

Soaring and swaying over craggy hills
How I long to be the mighty eagle.
Best when my strong wings stretch
And gliding, searching for food
To feed the  miniscule fledglings.


After verdant resurrection, green leaves 
Come to life, yet birds hide from
His majestic lofty strong eagle.
Pity the small ones could not stop
Their mellifluous lark-like songs.	

Unfortunately small rodents are short sighted.
Along the placid lake rodents friskily run 
In and out of the sedges. Food is now near.

Hi Victor, to me, the eagle is indeed the king of the birds and you made your eagle take flight within my imagination. A wonderful choice for poem of the day. Much deserved honour, my friend ..... Mike. XX

Eagles are beautiful creatures, so graceful when they drift through the sky. When hungry, they devour whatever is in sight. Congratulations Victor, on Poem of the Day. Many wonderful blessings to you. Hugs, Brandy
