Eagle (Haiku) by Mr Pig
Soaring above fields. Swooping through clouds and sunlight, shadow over prey.

Up the ladder: Crying shame
Down the ladder: madness

Actually eagles try not to shadow over prey until after they have got their talons into it because the shadow is a warning to the prey.

Shut up Blue Magpie, do relish techinical detail if so you miss the point of poetry. Imagine your take on the work of Wordsworth:

"I wandered lonely as a cloud"

Actually, clouds can't be lonely as they are formed of water vapour and don't have feelings, and often clouds appear in groups known as "fronts" so even if they did have feelings, which they don't, then they would not actually be lonely.

you birk.
