I saw four bald eagles today:
Three in Canada. One in USA.
poem- eagle eyed September 26, 2014
There is an eagle perched
above the Eagle River,
stretching his wings
and asking for a poem.
poem-grounded March 10, 2014
Bald eagle
standing on turned over earth
Watching the cars go by on the highway
(or pretending to,
to give the small creatures
an illusion of safety).
Bald eagle
normally surveying
road and field from high above
is checking out a new perspective.
I wonder whether he prefers
dirt to sky?
