SOLSC: Hawk

March 19, 2012

HAWK-

Today, while driving, I noticed a red-tailed hawk.

He was perched magnificent, like a king on the telephone wire.

Watching.

The green fields and bare-leafed woods seemed peaceful

like the calm before the storm.

Small creatures, scurrying, slithering about, unaware of the keen eye

searching for its next prey.

(This reminded me of a favorite book, Arrowhawk by Lola Shaefer, based on a real story.)
