Wings
Wings spread you hovered above
Then gracefully you swooped down fast
In a death grip you snatched them
You held them and then
away you flew into the sky
You took your time to tear them apart
They never had a chance
Your beak your claws and your talons ,
all functioned in unison
A lethal death machine
On any typical day it was a daily occurrence
You would send them scurrying
across the plains
Chicken, rabbits ,squirrels and rats
Vulnerable , they were not spared
Sharp - eyed you picked your fancy
Without mercy

Nice a rapid fire poem with an edge.
I agree it has an edge of surprise;
Nature's power and the acts of their daily world~ Well Done!
You have captured the scene perfectly.

Ollie,Ellen and Pam,
Appreciate it very much!
Dear Hank,
I am pleased to see you inspired and doing so well.
Dear Pakcik,
Thank you, Sir!.You opened up a whole big world for me. And Ma'am is always there giving me the finer points keeping me in perspective. And also Ma'am had 'cuit' my inner self to look up something that I had left off before. I promised Ma'am I'll have one done for her in appreciation. Now, in appreciation also, I'm having one done for you too, before Dec 31.
So immediate and descriptive..I felt as if I might be seeing it happen, so strong is your imagery! Well done...
Lynette

you did well.
Thanks for sharing.
Lynette and Jingle,
Thanks, imaginations can run wild for some while!
This poem took me back to watching eagles swoop down to the water, emerging with fish in their talons. Vivid imagery and descriptions in your poem, played out like a movie in my mind. Good writing!
Thanks Sherry. Everyday happenings can be fascinating. It is only that only a few are aware of them.
