An eagle can dive so fast that if it misjudge its target, it can be killed hitting earth. This is very well written and the reader can feel a closeness to God. Good luck in your contest.

An eagle is such a proud bird. You picked a good creature you'd like to be. Freedom is in the skies. Something we'll never know. Great flow throughout. Reads smoothly. Good luck with the contest. Les

This is good. I like the "verbal images" you used. Well rhymed. It has a style of its own, like the Eagle.
I would love to have wings and join you in the clouds!
Well done

Author: this took my breath away! Your beautiful poem had me soaring in the clouds with you as eagles. I could see it and feel it and the sense of freedom was grand. Your rhyme and rhythm is perfect so this piece flows for a delightful read. Good contender in this contest. livelylinda

Nice! I enjoyed the poetic rhyme and imagery presented in this poem. Although I thought the third stanza was a little weak, I felt that it was a solid poem overall. I really enjoyed it. It would be so cool to fly! Thank you for sharing.

My favorite thing about this poem is its varied imagery. In that, you capture all the aspects of what it must be like to be an eagle. Good rhyme and meter as well. In Line 4 I would suggest a comma between "rush" and "to" in order to separate those infinitive phrases.

Beautifully written, with good rhythm, rhyme and flow. It captured me at the start and held my attention to the end. Emotions and yearnings expressed well. Very appropriate photo. Well done.
