I enjoy writing as a hobby. Poetry has always appealed to me because of its beauty and power of expression. I love the words of Robert Frost when he said: “Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.”

The Mighty Hawk

Amidst dawn’s golden light
that shines upon the canyon bright
a hawk awakens from the night
eager for morning’s first flight

Within its pinions impressive as they are
lies evidence of wounds that left them scarred
from injuries inflicted...

I enjoy listening to the birds in my yard sing, call out, and chat amongst themselves often wondering what they’re saying, especially at night. So this poem spoke to me.

The wording is beautiful and powerful, and paints a word picture of how nature’s sounds can both frighten and soothe the soul.
