Eagle High above the valley, upon a starving branch Eight razor sharp claws clenched Silently, no sound escaping he sits with a vigilant eye Raise his beak to release the call The most majestic bird of all The early morning sun rises gradually The observing eye is searching constantly Nothing escapes his magnifying sight Nothing small, nor slight He sees it all The most majestic bird of all His wings spreading in the morning sun Wind and feathers becoming one Vaulting swift and short There is no other of his sort He will never fall The most majestic bird of all With his wide, beautiful set of wings His call still fills the air like hounded strings Soaring high through the vault of heaven Motionless and regal The most majestic bird of all The Eagle I tried to insert a picture of the Eagle that I have drawn here but I still don't know how to do this yet. This explain why I have the Eagle as Icon. Hope you like the poetry. < !signature--> The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools.

"His wings spreading in the morning sun Wind and feathers becoming one" Wonderful line here...this piece definitely soars, Helmut. (I sent you a note about how to insert an image in your post)  Claire |

Unto the sky the eagles soars, Unto my mind, its hope deplores. Spirited song, so free, so bold, Across the Welkin's Vault of gold. Great Poem, Helmet Eagles are one of my favorite creatures. Michael |

Helmut, a person without sight would be able to envision the eagle through your words. Very, very well done. Sunshine Look, then, into thine heart, and write ~~~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |

Splendid work, Helmut. I just love the times when I am outside and get treated to a view of an eagle overhead. I don't see them often, so I revel in the sight when one appears. It's not the love you fear, but the fall from the height~Edwin McCain |
