Rare

Rare it is to spy
Two red-tail hawks sitting near
Just two posts apart

~*~

Rare it is to watch
Red-feathered head eyeing me
Drained feeders await

~*~

Rare it is to sense
Need from a shy creature’s eyes
Relying on you

~*~

Rare it is to see
Speeding tires brake up sharp
Untimely death – not

~*~

Rare it is to hear
Heartbeats of true affection
Until it was yours

~*~

Couldn’t be more picturesque.  
Very nice write, and snapshot in a "rare" time.

Too many of us run through our days failing to appreciate the rarities in life.  I'm glad you're not one of those people.

Beautiful, as always.

Nice work, sunshine, putting the spotlight on the wildlife of America and the fact that we, as humans, owe certain ones a handout or they will starve.

I entertain myself on the long trips to Louisiana looking for hawks... I've stopped and photographed a few... but none of the pictures compare with the beauty of this... beautiful work!!

And rare it is that there is one to notice these wonderful gifts, that are really abundant, but rarely experienced.

Beautiful poem.  Thank you for being Karilea and thank you for bringing these exquisite moments to us.
