Could Be Anywhere...

Bird of Prey

Majesty of flight
launched from aerie perch
high on the cliff, nestled in rock.
Wing tastes the whisper
as eye scans below
a hunting from above.

Treetops conceal the hunter
as the very air she rides
off to her market, she goes.
As movement is sensed
an arrow she becomes
silently down she strikes.

Small, terrified scream
deadly talons do pierce
success wetting her claw.
She climbs in the wind
with struggling weight
triumphant she soars.

She circles her home
hungry nestlings demand
her prey...still at last.
Her beak portions out
brood’s survival secure
as lunch with a view
is served.

  5/00



  bleeding...

"Tis ink coming from his arm,
Captain!"

Grace and beauty tinged with horror.

Well written Bleeding

Wow!  I could picture every word of it. Loved the "Lunch with a view" line.
