FALCON

I love my diet, rich in protein, Of snakes, squirrels, doves, and rabbits most lean. I tell you this, and I am on the square, Furry mammals delight beyond compare. The swiftest, sleekest raptor in the sky, I soar wide, circling with the sharpest eye. As feathered death I swooped upon my prey, But the rat found a hole and got away. As Taloned Fate I still search and survey, For careless critters to feast on today.

Dear David, you personify the falcon with poetic finesse. I adored "Taloned Fate", you captured the fierce, persistent and hungry spirit of the raptor with vivid imagery and vibrant rhymes. Wonderful, my poet friend. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
