Eagles On The Mississippi Comments

Oh the joy of flying with eagles. Excellently expressed my friend.

I love this one, Robert. I love the way it flowed. I could picture those majestic birds as I read your poem. Regards Ron

Enjoyed this one with all of its interwining thoughts and rhymes.

Great good poem! Love the repitition and desciption involved. Bald eagles came back to the deep Louisiana swamp...they are so beautiful, soaring...then you catch that flash of white on the head, and catch your breath...because now you know what bird it is! Lovely work about a loving mother and father bird, yet fierce predator.xxElysabeth

Loved it, so free and BEAUTIFUL, thank you!

Beautifully crafted. Music is the soul of poetry. This one soars with the eagle in flight.. Excellent work, Robert. Kindest regards, Sandra

yes i like the words thermals up. good one robert. would love to hear your music.

Benjamin Franklin would turn over in his grave if he read your lovely homage to the eagle-with all his posturing and lobbying to have the turkey enstated as our national bird-harping on the eagle's 'bad moral character'. You soar. Phillip

A magnificent creature honed by millions of years of evolution - and then some - and you've crafted this to perfection to do it justice. The repetition of the two killer lines mesmerises.

I give kudos to anyone who can carry off meter and rhyme and still hold my interest past the first stanza. I know this is harder than it looks; must be the musician in you- creativity AND discipline! Cheers, Lori

I love the structure of this one Robert and its meter which flows so musically. And of course your subject is sublime - inspiring, soaring, magnificent. A fine poem from a fine poet. love, Allie xxxxxxxxxxxxx

A bird that captures the imagination in a visceral way; your poem does it justice, Robert. Effective use of repetition, lovely imagery! Esther : ]

How thankful I always am that Benjamin Franklin didn't have his way and make the turkey our national bird! Don't get me wrong, I love turkey! But there is just something about the majesty of the eagle, from the look in his eyes to the clutch of his talons on prey! He is one awesome bird who really doesn't fly - he soars! !

A wonderful tribute to a creature of seemingly endless artistic qualities. Well done, Robert! Brian
