Earth and Sky

a haiku

Eagle wings spread far

Cast shadows on earth from sky

Sharp talons take food

[‘Thoughts In Time..]

I love this video I have watched it many times before and I’ve watched the bald headed eagles in Alaska the most beautiful powerful mystical being ever- sacred to the cultures up Nirth- their piercing cries warns and challenges the spirit as the fly free the king above many- one thing in life we can only be certain of is change- not always easy but best for growth and destiny- difficult paths lead to beautiful places- from pain comes beauty- wonderful words-🌹

Majestic birds and worthy of preservation. To be a symbol to a nation says a lot. Masters of the sky. To be mystical to others says a lot. You are soaring as the Eagle good sir and are ready to grab our full attention with your poetry. Video was awesome. I love the music too.

[Einstein Noodle]

[Sami Khalil]

No doubt my dear sir. You are welcome. Love and peace.

Something majestic about eagles.
Always think the stealth bomber was born from watching the eagle in flight.
Massive Eagles fan.
Once heard a fellow group say they sounded too much like their records. Always thought that was what the fans wanted.

[Einstein Noodle]

ahahaha perhaps ... i am also an Eagles fan ... on both accounts ... love the thoughts about the stealth bomber ... that is so cool .. whether true or not ... both are pretty deadly .. great to have you stop by Paul! be well and prosper! ;)

i love haiku, but i don't find it always easy to be so succinct. 👍
your poem has multiple interpretations.
cheerio carola
ps. for some strange reason your video could not be centred, so the right-hand side was cut short & not all the writing could be read. don't know if it's my computer or the cafe's website

[Einstein Noodle]

Carola! many thanks for reviewing ... i don't think we have met yet ... i will stroll down your way next .. i don't know why the video is off...i tried to fix it but could not ... thank you for trying ... if you want to view it i guess you have to go to youtube itself :( sorry ... i am hoping it will fix itself ... glad you enjoyed the haiku .. thanks again for letting me know

I didn't quite get it until I watched the video great short piece

[Einstein Noodle]

thanks for visiting simba! and nice to meet you! i'm gratified you gleaned a bit from the combo ... the haiku came first and i was so happy to find the vid ... lots of sound wisdom in those old sage words eh!? see you around!

[Einstein Noodle]

i should say ..nice to see you ... ;) we have already met ;}

Amazing video and Haiku E.! The photography in this allegorical tale is spectacular. Eagle- King of the noble raptors...wo-ha-li. The legend, and lesson, here is unforgettable. You beautifully capture with your evocative words, the eagle both in flight and in predation. He is the master hunter in air and sea and on ground. And ultimately, through painfully re-creating himself, he transforms to a bird of peace in order to survive. This is his lesson to us. Deeply moving presentation my friend.

[Einstein Noodle]

oh my goodness Annette! your review is giving me chills ... your obvious appreciation of such a great bird puts us in communion my friend ..i am thoroughly gratified and humbled ..thank you so much ..
E.

[Annette Pisano-Higley]

Hi E. It gave me chills too- ha! I felt it was too intense, but wrote it anyway. Your poem obviously resonated with me. Who knows, maybe we have a subliminal eagle connection??

[Einstein Noodle]

yes! i think so Annette! ... our "animals" choose us eh!?

[Ken Simm.]

Both are excellent pieces of ancient wisdom.

[Einstein Noodle]

Thank you Ken! you see me don't you?! ;)

You have describes the psyche of the selfish, self seeking go-getters with great aplomb! Indeed their wings cast shadows from afar as they swoop down to take and take some more. Powerful writing.

[Einstein Noodle]

its wonderful how differently we all see things .. i can see your point Mallika .. we can be very selfish at times ... about all kinds of things eh!? thank you for reviewing my little haiku ;)

A good poem will always have multiple interpretations. Cheers! Hope you've been swell.

[Einstein Noodle]

sure have ..thank you..and you as well!

[Neville]

This may well be the perfect haiku in terms of the way you have crafted words of the correct number of syllables and form.. However, these words comprise more than just that... You have captured the very essences of one majestic and co-existing whole.. That of Earth & Sky and the majestic eagle that which resides there and is the giver and the taker of life......... The vid was not bad either.. All Good Things my Friend.... Neville

[Einstein Noodle]

thanks Neville ... sure appreciate your friendship and support :) top o' the mahrnin' to ya!
