EAGLE
by Amy, Year 5, Santa Sabina College, NSW
Soaring through the sky
On a bright summer’s day
The eagle prepares to dive
Circling its prey
As quick as lightning
Eagle punishes an offender
The target is paralysed
And has no choice but to surrender
Entering eagle territory
This is how mouse is punished
Becoming Eagles’ dinner
Making sure he doesn’t famish
The victim would tell her friends
But poor mouse has immobilised
She bows her head in defeat
No energy for the fight to repeat
Yet she still feels as if there is life in her
Physicality is the truth to decipher
Eagle feels very satisfied
He has had enough for lunch
After disposing of the excess
He begins finding something for supper to munch
