his eyes focused sharp on the ground below
when prey scurries by he will launch and fly
a cunning predator he hunts solo
takes his victim quick — swoops in fast and low
talons like knives he’s a lethal machine
the wound is deadly and delivered clean
with stunning precision, power, and pace
survival instincts impeccably keen
a proud regal bird, true majestic grace
