Wild Birds

I am the hawk, the falcon, the eagle circling the skies, swooping with the winds that roar through gold and carmine canyons. I soar to hunt, to pursue, to feed. Gliding on ageless currents of thermal energies exploding through the clouds, stooping to the field, the sea, the desert. I have the strength, the will, the fortitude of the ages beside, and within, my being sharpening my insight, my vision, calling me to the feeding grounds. I am the caveman, the forager, the hunter of all within my penetrating sight. Succumb to my mighty beak and talons.

Your eagle in the poem has the might of a tornado and the sweep of a whirl wind. All these birds of the eagle family are great predators. The last line reflects its preying skills. Congratulations Linda on your first place top win.

If ever a poem drew a vivid picture in my mind, Linda, this is it. I see that eagle with its outstretched wings, riding those thermals. I can damn near hear it’s squeals. Smashing write. Truly enjoyed. Terry
