A Poem For An Eagle Poem by Terry Dawson
A Poem For An Eagle
Rating: ★4.5
Wildest of all the wild things
Is the king of the hunting birds.
Wild-one that to the wilderness clings
Where the olden ways are preferred.
When mankind comes and with him brings
His dogs and flocks and herds,
A disquiet comes upon this king
As though misstep's occurred...
And at such coming spread his wings
For wilds undisturbed.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
This poem is about the great Martial Eagle of Africa that because of its extreme shyness of civilization is now absent from much of it's former range. Sad that this most noble of all the birds is so seldom seen now.
