Comment from Righteous Riter
From the photo to the message, this piece has everything working. The message is clear. It is short, sweet and the point. This piece also meets the criteria of a 5-7-5. Good job.

Comment from Val Crisson
Very, very, nice haiku and the satori line is one of the best I've read on this site. I like that the poet does not sugar coat nature, and captures a true moment in time.

Comment from PoeticXscape
A great poem until the end which confused me. A rabbit's dying wish? what is? to see a eagle flying over a mountain or to be killed by an eagle? there is the 5 stars you asked for.

To be the Eagle is the wish.

ah I see

The last line is a satori. It's meant to be a twist that takes you in another direction than the first two lines take you. That is the property of a Haiku. Still a 4 on my contest winner?

sorry didn't know i can change it beg your pardon
Comment from yonashalom
I see why this is a winner. Congratulations! Things sometimes go over my head and I had to read the last line a couple times to relate it to the previous. What an awesome play on words. The rabbit will die getting his wish to soar the mountains... chauffeured by his natural predator. Very clever! Well done. ~Yona

Comment from Joannforsberg
Congratulations on this contest win. Like the top of the food chain thought. Then a rabbit dying wish. Great imagery with that. Of course your photograph is beautiful also. You have moved up fast as you are at #54 in accomplished poet. So that is excellent. Blessings, JO

Thank you Jo. Yes, it is amazing. I started in November as #1067. This is about the number 30 contest I've entered, so after spending all those $5 entries, and getting frustrated time after time. It feels good to finally win one.
Comment from adewpearl
excellent pairing of photo and poem, which is in good 5/7/5 form
you convey a wish that so many people have, to have the gift of flight and the freedom that would give
and then your final line makes this wish so poignant
Congratulations on your contest win :-)

Congratulations on your win - justified judging by the snort of amusement I gave out when I read your last line! Of course, it is appreciated more because the first two lines lead the reader to expect that this will be conveying a stereotypical image.
