The owl

hoots, a mouse

squeaks, an eagle,

scoops up and steals to feed...

The golden eagel's
Sharp talons
Jack-knifed into
The River Styx
Catching prey
For her nesting
Young eaglets...

Owl hoots, mouse squeaks, hawk
Screech, falcon swoops, eaglets chirps,
Butterfly's whispers....

Wind, rub your beak
Against the eaglets 
Nesting high in the
Andean Cliffs to say, 
The Lord shall give
thee wings to fly...

Where Eagles Dare - TB

Eaglets ace sky
first, defy plunge,
scrape by skirt dirt.

an enormous wing spanned eagle or hawk
swoops down and carries off struggling bunny
I watch in awe
sad for the terrified bunny
but glad for eagle’s eaglets or hawklets...

Winter is drawing closer~'tis nigh
The eaglets have flown the giant nest
Soon they'll fill the Cobalt blue sky
Each will search the lake for its quest
Build a nest upon the boulder
The problems of the world won't shoulder...

When Mother Eagle returned with her wormy swag
Each of the eaglets grimaced and gagged
"Eat that slimy thing?
You've got to be kidding!
We'll wait and see what Dad bagged!"

life's highways etched into her face
crevices and valleys, catching wisdom of the ages
an eagle's eyes missing no nuances or glances,
woman who is intelligent enough to keep silent
watching the eaglets make their own journey
earning their own highways and crevices...

from the sky plummets

      a feathery blur with razor talons

            and cruel, crooked beak..


                  slays a serpentine shadow

                        in the grass, then flies off to feed

                              eaglets nestled at the peak....

From the grey-leaved tree 
Even our giant Iroko 
The eaglets with hopeful wings 
Flying & pattering with their wings 
Drumming like the drums of the jungle 
Rhyming with an eclipse of their times
– O, these motets
Of disjointed hours! –
The birds fly away over our heads,
From a forest of omen, with wings 
Looking like an eagle’s wings!...

off to niger’s brimful banks
where the weaver-birds
had their lofty nests
there the trees are ever-green
there old hatching eggs burst-ready
with new wings for the first flights
& the water-torrents point
to her hidden chambers
while the early frost cool the azure
there we dwell & hope to dwell
till niger’s maidens return
like eaglets of the jungle...

Born of your blood
Seen once like the eclipse
Powerful among equals
Thy color a symbol of peace

Oh, I remember thy feathers
Worn only by the royal
My father wore it too
Because is royal

Thy off springs called eaglets
Born into plenty
The wildest hunter on earth
Faster than English shoot

Your glories are numerous
And your attack dangerous...

the clan's totems
have been stolen -
between the awakening white teeth
of the twilight stars
they came
their blood-sucking beaks & talons
hidden under the soft feathers
they came 
singing the sonorous songs
like the weaver-birds of the clan -
the songs of the hawks
lured the eagle & her eaglets
into a new dance of the forest -
& the clan's totems
have been stolen...

Listen to poem:

impressive wing span
navigated storm at sea
at one with nature

eagle glides swiftly
towards its high sea stack home
away from chaos

eaglets safe in nest
impervious bird-of-prey
at one with fierce storm

 an eagle

Flying high

like everyday.

She saw the prey,

She headed towards the sky,

She took a U turn,

She pounced over it,

She held it in the beak,

She flew far away,

.....A life ended....

the eagle was Bold,

She returned to her nest,

It seemed she won!

God saw her ,

She was feeding her eaglets,

It seemed she won!

G-liding in the wind, 
E-agle queen soars high; 
R-emaining to be strong, 
L-iving beneath the sky.
I-n her flight finding birds for her eaglets' food; 
E-ffort is truly made, her eyesight is very good.

A-n eagle queen's wings
G-lide in the open air; 
U-nderneath the blue lane
I-n morn seventh October.
L-et the girl go on fighting for the faith without wiggle; 
A-iming to show her might, just like a queen eagle....

To these eaglets their mother
is a big yellow banana
that opens and emits delicous food.
They don't realize the effort
that it takes for her to bring it.
They only know they're hungry and it's good.

Their mother does not care
if she is not appreciated,
her mother instinct is so strong and pure.
Until her babes are fully grown
and hunting on their own
her fierce protective caring will endure.

NATURE NONSENSE

In the glens
by the fens
little foxes in their dens.

Among the pines
grow the vines
little squirrels use as blinds

In the brook
under foot
little fish caught by the hook.

In the sky
see them try
little eaglets learn to fly.

In the trees 
full of leaves
little bear cubs hide with ease.


In the ponds
among the fronds
little frogs sing their songs.

As I stand
in the sand
I behold nature grand...

spring songs 

eerie storm warnings
 mistrals turn new leaves silver ~
  baby eaglets hatch

banshee ballads rise
 ice frosted meadows shiver ~
  pineapple express

rain hums sad lyrics
 in mantras of humid breaths  ~
  sleepy snowdrops wake

plaintive wind oboes
 pensive gusts of sad flute songs ~
  raindrops pound downbeats 

spring songs come in waves
 misty descants of plainchant ~
  parched earth drinks deeply
