Inspired by The Eagle written by Alfred, Lord Tennyson located in A Children’s Book of Verse, Illustrated by Eric Kincaid, Poems selected by Marjorie Rogers. (Brimax Books)
Flying high in clouds of mighty he swooped low and narrow turns of fast hard
Eyes sharp with predatorial intent looking for prey to end famine deep he watched movements close far near
Claws curved in mighty grasping traps he flies low and captures his meal with smiles of satisfaction wide
Feeding little beaks of hungry quieting cries of hungry he gives rips of bites devoured by little ones cooing with content as hunger satisfied fulfilled long until replete with sleep
Chuckling deep within he graciously accepts chirps of thanks as each burp clear little beaks of smiles of happy
Kissing mate of long he flies far and wide to perch of solitary until feeding time begins again soon near far
Watching sunrise to the sun recedes he towered mighty as God’s Eye and Warrior replete with Lord’s Grace and thanks and heaven’s praise
