Best Bird Of Prey Poems

A cerulean heron
perches in cloisonne
among jade shoots
of a topaz tree
as shadows of platinum fish
undulate in silence
of teal waters.
The tableau of moonstone,
fulgid in azure sky,
hovers in citrine dusk
above pearl clouds 
and indigo coastal bluffs.
Night's onyx falls quickly;
the food chain pauses
until sun's lambent carnelian
emerges above a pewter...

Bird of Prey

On Banyon Lake, where waterfowl dwell,
The night was tranquil and held no fear.
Until came a sound ascended from Hell.
I heard a menacing cry as I drew near.

Upon the shore no wave did break.
No whispers on the wind were heard.
Nor was there a splash...

Bird of prey will dive today,
His quarry soon consumed
From one mile high,
Will catch it’s eye,
So life goes on, 
resumed.

Touch not the chick ,
Of eagle quick,
Iron talons claw your face,
Flashing feathers ,
Clawed  and bit,
Begone, it’s not your place.

Our Aussie Eagle Hawk ,
Has a 6 foot...

Majesty Of The Bird Of Prey
(Eyes of the Hawk)

In wilderness flies the bird of prey
above the earthly fight and battle
Far from immense foaming ocean spray
far above pastures and fat cattle
Gliding along spying for its meal
with those sharp all seeing eyes
Blessed with sharp claws of steel
marauder...

‘Making love to the sky you’re an Eagle.’
I wrote that, it seems like so long ago;
At the time there was still significance 
in the majesty of this predator;

Two such piercing eyes and wings so regal
paint an image that we forever know;
A display of so much...

A flash of wing............. 
Exploded feathers....... 
Bird of prey 
Nature's way 
Raptor's thing 

The Falcon's speed 
Victim,pays no heed 
Aerial violence, 
in the sunlit blue silence 

The Hawk........ 
flashing by 
High speed dart in the sky 

The kestrel............ 
Hovering above ground 
The assassin............ 
Kills without...

I am a bird of prey at work
Consider myself head of the food chain
Keep it to myself of course

I fly off before my talons rip or tear
shredding my coworkers into rethinking
I am proud to be a no-kill predator

Here comes one of the baby birds now
She...

A bird of prey just made my day.
He perched high up, just sitting.
He looked quite regal, so the height
Was absolutely fitting.

I watched him shake his head a bit,
Perhaps to clear his vision
Of raindrops sneaking through the leaves,
To guarantee precision.

For on the hunt, those eyes detect
The...

Corn is harvested and hay neatly bailed
Indian summer hovers over field
Wind frolicker dived smoothly then impaled
Unwary creature who was unconcealed.

Small bird of prey with beautiful feathers
Keen-eyed Kestrel looking for easy prey
Golden autumn simmers perfect weather
Mammals scatter in rush to get away

Kestrel is focused gliding back...

Tremble
by Michael R. Burch
 
Her predatory eye,
the single feral iris,
scans.
 
Her raptor beak,
all jagged sharp-edged thrust,
juts.
 
Her hard talon,
clenched in pinched expectation,
waits.
 
Her clipped wings,
preened against reality,
tremble.
