Excellent

Dear Ulla,

What a magnificent bird of prey and eagle is. It is always exciting to watch raptors hunting. Most are very good fliers and acrobats. A great photo to highlight this poem.

Do you have golden eagles where you live?

Warm regards,

Winslow

Winslow, thank you very much for this great review. We do have Eagles here but not the golden eagle. Had them in Scotland where I lived before though. All the best. Ulla:))

I really like your haiku. Your haiku is well done and it has a clever satori. The presentation is attractive. Good job with the syllable count is 5/7/4 which is well within the seventeen syllables allowed.

Very good entry into the Write a Haiku poetry contest. I love eagles and this immediately caught my attention by title! The haiku is excellent. Great imagery in the first two lines and an excellent satori. Good luck in the contest. God bless and hugs, Susanne

What a strikingly beautiful picture to draw in the reader's eye to a gem of nature. What strength to be able to carry this prey. A touch of sadness for the prey too.

Thank you for your notes of additional context, although I could visualize the drama. Your alliteration of "s's" and "e's" added to the impact. Best wishes in the contest- Joan

Hello author a very visible haiku of the eagle
sweeping the ground with sharp eye
Just wonder if the lamb is too much for the eagle to handle?

Thank you so much for a great review. Apparently not. It's a big problem for the farmers in Scotland. All best.

Comment from Laurel Legion

Good

Your haiku conveys its moment straightforwardly about the natural process of an eagle with a lamb it wishes to make as its prey. Nonetheless though, with the second line of your haiku, the last word "eye" should probably be made plural instead of singular as "eyes" because its current form sounds stilted in terms of grammar. Apart from that though, again, nice job with both the scene as well as the picture chosen.

Exceptional

This is a well written haiku poem. Even though haiku allows only a few words, those few words were well chosen to paint a clear picture. I love the image, it fits the poem well.
