A flash of gold,
A glint of steel,
And I behold,
Those eyes, so real.

A sudden lift,
Of bright bronze wings,
He seems to drift,
And then he flings,

His body toward,
A silver streak,
The bright reward,
Of lakes, so bleak.

He ends his dive,
His talons flash,
The silver fish,
And bright claws clash.

He soars away,
A speck of gold,
With secret tales,
All left untold.

I really like it, it's nice, simple and the rhythm that you use (4 syllables, I think) works nicely and allows your poem to flow really well.
Sing we for joy and idleness,
Naught else is worth the having. -- Ezra Pound

Help me get that second star! If you need a review, just send me a PM. (Keep it PG, please. Except for violence... I can handle that. ^^ )



Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy—the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.
