The beauty of the sky along with the hunger of the bird all in a few sweet lines. And hunger no more. I love your writing.

Thank you for sharing, greatly appreciated.
Have a wonderful week!

This poem describes well what birds of prey do and has the correct number of syllables per line for the contest - well done. I like the idea of the day turning to gold and the alliteration of 'gold, glides and grace'.
Good luck with it

The first two lines of this poem flow and connect well. The last line says
it all! The author's words are nature based and go well with the theme
of this poem. The artwork is awesome and compliments this poem well.

This is an excellent poem for the prompt. It is bold and to the point. The whole presentation supports the meaning, and it brings the reader into a flight with the eagle. Excellent writing! Best wishes!

Yes, your soaring eagle is most majestic. As the golden day ends, the raptor seeks its a la carte dinner.

The font size IMHO is much too large. Not sure (but it is your preference) that you need initial caps for each line. Consider using a serif font to improve your presentation value to other FS reviewers.

    Hey Mark!
    Advice taken. I will try the serif and see how it works out. Thank you for your great review!!!

Beautiful photo and true words capturing the moment perfectly. I like the contrast in the third line where the beauty of the scene is changed to terror for the victim. Best wishes for your entry.

Oh my! This is like a fake-then-knock-out-punch. Here I am thinking, "Oh, how peaceful and serene and beautiful!" Next thing I know, I'm reading about swooping in for a kill. Nicely done.

Excellent entry for the 5-7-5 Poetry writing prompt contest. I like the presentation. Concrete words' imagery is easy to visualize. Good syllables count and connection between lines. I like the juxtaposition of nature's beauty and savagery of killing... although is part of the cycle of life.

Good luck!

That's a gorgeous photo of the sea eagle to go with your evocative words that capture the beauty and danger of nature in action. You've set the scene, introduced the noble bird, then turned it edgy with death. Tranquility suddenly turns dramatic.
