Monster Poem

Rio

Monster Poem

Its wings come downward with a force like a hammer

When it dives it is like an arrow in free fall

Its beak can rip through the hardest of flesh

Its talons grab the poor rabbit or mouse like a clamp

Stabbing into its sides like blades

Never letting go

This is what it feeds its hatchlings

This is what it eats

This is how it stays alive

Wild nature at work

This is the hawk staying alive
