A Foolproof Strategy Poem by Ernestine Northover
A Foolproof Strategy
What powerful things, are an eagle's wings,
As he soars high on currents of air.
So graceful in flight, when seen at great height,
Oh! How you wish you could be there.
Gliding supreme, in a wonderful dream,
Free as that proud bird of prey.
A beautiful sight, when his sharp eyes alight
On good food, when off on a foray.
In silence he sits, motionless, his wits
Gauging what his next move ought to be.
Such elegance and style, he hunts with such guile,
Endowed with a foolproof strategy.
His skill is top-notch he is always on watch,
For creatures that are travelling with haste.
He swoops with sheer speed, and captures his feed,
Devouring it, and loving the taste.
While he is trailblazing, he rules like a king,
The fields are his conquered domain.
A veritable speeder, a formidable leader,
In legendary splendour, long may he reign.
ERNESTINE...My favourite bird(as an American, of course) And your words glide with this birds dexterous flight....mellifluously! Solid Work, as always, young lady... F. j. R.
The rhyme and rhythm make this lovely poem flow, just like the flight of the mighty eagle. Such magnificent birds. You've captured the feeling of the hunter but also the gracefulness and regality of this killing machine. Another one of your greats, Ernestine. Love, Fran xxx
