The Eagle
A Triolet
By Paul Wilson


The great eagle came swooping down
From high above the mountain side
Closer and closer to the ground
The great eagle came swooping down
To catch his prey from Puget sound
That darts and weaves and tries to hide
The great eagle came swooping down
From high above the mountain side

You rarely see our Balladeer offer such raving reviews, Paul.  I've got to say that he's right, of course.

This is flawless, my friend - Your theme is wonderful.  Your rhyme scheme and your repetitions are great.  Your meter can be read a couple of ways, including but not limited to iambic tetrameter...

I like this one lots...

Nan...You are so right. That reply from Balladeer knocked my socks off. Just that one word brilliant coming from him is more than I ever hoped for. I really appreciate you taking time to read and for your honest reply.
I still don't know meter, but maybe someday
this old man can learn a new trick or two.I need help with that part of my writing.
Thanks again so very much for reading and for giving me a place to learn different types of poetry...Paul

I would have replied sooner, but with the site being down and work this is the first chance I have had.
