Duo Sonnetinos

A chapter in the book Little Poems

Eagle Perch

by Treischel



Stand tall upon thy perch of gnarled limbs,
Iconic freedom, spark of battle hymns.
Ignite our thoughts of flight, those soaring whims.
You graced the heavens, as you chased the wind,
While man was once to earthbound surface pinned.

Today, though we may sail to higher heights,
And dare to dream of interstellar flights,
The visage of an eagle still excites.
As symbol of our nation's civic pride,
Your true majestic stance can't be denied.






I spotted this eagle while on a walk in the park the other day.

This poem is a suite of two Sonnetinos (Duo Sonnetinos)
A Sonnetino was created by our very own Fanstorian, lightink. It is a five line poem, written in iambic pentameter. The rhyme scheme is:
aaabb.
The first three lines bring up a topic and
the closing couplet has a turn or a strong closing thought.
She named this form Sonnetino - a teeny tiny sonnet. The word Sonnet is already a diminutive for song. So this is a tiny song.

This photograph was taken by the author himself on April 23, 2016, at Lake Keller in Ramsey County, Minnesota.
