[hometext] => This Sparrow Hawk has been hanging around my garden aviary for the last week.
[bodytext] => Sparrow Hawk Enters the clearing of my eye line Grey backed and white flashing burned orange He soars high on well rounded wings. Carrying the wind and a dream beneath a dark tail He spots me, frozen by his presence, at the aviary door. Makes for a copse of trees under the shade dappled hill And lands in the low branches of a silver birch. From there he sits watching me, watching him, And in my wire mesh compound I can see him, aloof And alone in silent contemplation, a small smudge fully loaded Casting a bird shadow over the land. I feed the aviary birds, aware of his power, distant yet troubling. Then through the silence I hear the whoosh of wings, And the pocket size power erupts through the mid day sky, Flashing like flames at the furnace door, He weaves through clouds, Then straightens himself like a fine tapered arrow And heads for the wire mesh of the aviary door. Changes his mind And swoops away to the far horizon. Stunned by his beauty, his power, his vision, I sit on the garden wall, humbled by his freedom.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
