An effective, well-written Haiku. It seems that you have followed all the rules well. Very good use of alliteration using the letter "s", and an excellent satori.

Nicely done. Best of luck to you.

This is a great 5-7-4 haiku poem. That is some ambitious eagle with his sights set on a lamb! I mean, most eagles would be happy with a rabbit- but not this bold bird! haha well done

You do realize Google search is going to be employed to find this image, right?! I would not have thought that possible, poor baby lamb.

You haiku strikes the power of a certain bird, in its strength, power, and hunting ability. Well done. Good luck in the contest!

The majestic eagle contrasts starkly with the helpless lamb in its talons. Seldom does the natural world present such a mismatch as this one.

A lamb? That must be one heck of a large eagle and one tiny lamb. Amazing to think of. Best wishes in the contest, my friend~Debbie

The poem has the sweeping eye of the Eagle in the picture, well written.
The picture is awesome and the colors match it perfectly. Good luck in the contest. Have a great day and God bless.

I cant understand why you claim only 4 syllables in your satori iamb=2, in=1and trouble =2 . 2+2+1=5 in my book. Sorry I misread lamb for iamb as in iambics

A nice play on words I am/iamb/lamb in the satori

My misreading has made a complete nonsense of this review. Its too late and I should go to bed.

Hahaha, sorry to laugh, but it is bedtime I think. Thanks for the review. I assure you that the satori line is 4 syllables.LOL All the best.

Comment from nanwilliamson

Good

Usually, the haiku follows a 5-7-5 syllable count; your last line has only 4. Easy to fix. Your first line is informative but I wonder if it is true to the haiku style? It is more than an observable moment, more of a personal comment. Could you SHOW the reader how the lamb is in trouble with an image (an observation ) rather than a statement??

Thanks, I was about to explain to you what a haiku is. But never mind. Please do read the rules, before commenting.

reply by nanwilliamson on 11-Jun-2016

Hi, this is the part of the rule I'm referring to. "captures an observable moment in time and not something the poet imagines is happening" You may observe, the lamb trembling or running or what ever, but "in trouble " is not observable. Sorry, if I offended you.

Never mind!

Comment from Bill Schott

Excellent

This haiku, Golden Eagle Soars, uses its sixteen syllables to give us a peek into the eagle's mission of bringing home the bacon (or mutton). Nice.
