DMC: "What Do the Hawks Know?" by Keri Collins Lewis




WHAT DO THE HAWKS KNOW?

What do the hawks know?
     To wait and watch, then zoom and munch.
     Talons pack a one-two punch.
     Not all prey has the same crisp crunch.

What do the hawks know?
     When spring winds blow, act on a hunch.
     Feathers may ruffle, wings bunch.
     Not every effort results in lunch.

  1. Talons or no talons, this little ditty sure packs one-two punch, Keri! The hawk's eye photo you found is amazing.

  4. While it's true that not every effort results in lunch, this effort resulted in a poetry feast! Love the hawk's eye view.
