Swift Wing of Hawk

The light cloud aloft floats like a soft fluffy pillow
The light cloud aloft floats like a soft fluffy pillow      
Swift wing of hawk through a white misty billow
Swift wing of hawk through a white misty billow
Swift wing of hawk floats aloft through misty light
The fluffy cloud billow like a soft pillow white

Its feathers now tilting toward new direction
Its feathers now tilting toward new direction
Eye looking down to the earth with affection
Eye looking down to the earth with affection
Tilting with the earth to eye new affection  
Looking down now toward its feathers direction

Hawk’s circling wings sing in ruffling hush
Hawk’s circling wings sing in ruffling hush
And come round to land in a blueberry bush
And come round to land in a blueberry bush
To land, hawk’s wings come and sing in a hush
Circling round in ruffling blueberry bush

In a light hush aloft, a hawk floats it’s wing
Fluffy new feathers now billow and sing
Looking eye to the earth, in tilting direction
To land toward the blueberry bush with affection
Through a misty white cloud, like soft pillow of down
Hawk’s swift ruffling wings come circling round

I don't know how you do it, Elizabeth! No form seems to be beyond your reach! I'm still trying to do one little haiku and can't seem to do even that. Very well done!

Elizabeth - This one is particularly great - The more words you use, the more difficult these things become... You've taken on quite a big'n here.. and done it well...

Liz, I am terribly impressed with this one.  You've made a Beauty of this Beast, to be sure ...
