A beautiful poem about a beautiful bird with great descriptive quality. Andrew x

The power of flight is something I would love to have and gain the freedom of the skies in actuality rather than in my imagination.I love all birds but the raptors hold a special place in my heart ivor

A noble and perceptive tribute to a magnificent creature also known for keen perception and nobility.

This is great stuff, Ernestine... it's among your very best work (that says a lot) ! ! ! Brian

A very carefully crafted piece of work - the poem, and the eagle - with great balance and rhythm, and consistent internal rhymes throughout. Great attention to detail on display here, with the content matching the form perfectly! I like the insight of 'Endowed with a foolproof strategy' - the result of millions of years of work by a very thorough mother nature. You managed to place us on board there for a few minutes Ernestine. Lovely piece of writing! xx jim

Beautiful...such freedom and power...I'm envious..wish I could fly! ! Hugs, Dee

The widom of concentration and obsession.

A most excellent description! I find this one very visual… and powerful… all my best, CJ

The Eagle is a beatiful bird, to write a poem about one, is such a delight to read this wonderful piece of poetry, nicely done.

The eagle is a magnificent creature and you have captured all its majesty and strength Ernestine.A marvellous write. A symbol of strength wisdom and freedom. Sid John xxx

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

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.

Wonderful rhyme and rhythm. Gracefully executed. -chuck

All stanzas here are well-connected and bring visual delights, but I think that my favourite part is the last, it seems to say so much and ties it all together so elegantly Take care sweet-heart, Love duncan X

Very nice, Ernesting. Your meter is flawless, as usual. Raynette

Love this Ernestine - a beautifully observed piece. You have captured the beauty, precision and predatory nature of this wonderful bird. Warmest wishes, Justine.
