Wow. This is fantastic. It has a melody to it! Almost like a song. Its beautiful. I love...
I think, to own the sky is key.
That's a powerful and honestly catchy line. Great choices of words. "Marvel at the wonders I would see". Love that. I'm not just giving this six to be nice, this is truly worthy. I read it twice!

I love it. I am going to practice writing a Paradelle. You did a beautiful job with the eagle, its' free spirit akin to your quest for freedom. You captured my attention with the repetition. I saw the eagle fly! Great job!

Excellent photo to complement this poem. Eagles look majestic and are. I love that you used this form again. The eagle flies high and you want to as well.

I am glad you were inspired by sunnilicious' introduction of the Paradelle and created your own "flight of fancy"--yes, I have often wished I could fly like an eagle! Your repeats added to the exuberance of your message, and I enjoyed your summation using the same words. Well done! Enjoy your Sunday- Joan

I like this format and the repetition adds a lot of drama to the piece and it centers around an eagle and the spirit flying to the heights in the sky. It creates an atmosphere of lofty soaring. Well done.

It truly would be great to fly like an eagle--a perfect escape from the chaos on earth;
A well-penned Paradelle of nature's perspective approached from the human eye.

Do I really need to critic this poem???
Really? Really?

I think NOT!
I think NOT!

I want to fly like an Eagle - an Eagle
So, says Steve Miller.

If I could fly higher than an Eagle - an Eagle
So, says Bette Midler.

Another fine example of your amazing talent...

Thanks my friend..
