James Fraser Poet Rhyme

The Nobleman, His Eagle and the Moon

In the Highlands of Scotland
A Kingdom exists
Two Kings rule
In the mountains and mist
 
A nobleman knight
With his bird of prey
A Golden Eagle so rare
Regal display
 
On moonlit nights
A turret he stands
Golden Eagle on hand
Two powers of grand
 
One word he speaks
The Eagle lifts
In powerful swoop
Gracefully swift
 
He flies to the heavens
Turns into the moon
To silhouette himself
In winged tune
 
The lunar light
On the knight shines
As he views his Eagle
In flight divine
 
A whistling call
Wind of change
The Eagle returns
To his masters domain
 
Hand outstretched
In silent land
The call of the wild
In respectful command
 
Come to my Kingdom
For all this you'll see
In the Highlands of Scotland
The real land of the free

Sara Kendrick August 17, 2009 at 4:20 AM I've written on this on before but wanted to say it inspired me to write some more. Would you look at one that I have just written called "The Piano"? Keep writing. Sara

Sara Kendrick August 14, 2009 at 5:30 PM Nicely written. So this knight has an eagle like some people have a falcon. Interesting. Sara
