Cooper Hawk - Lincoln Park Zoo Poem by Ima Ryma

Walk the Nature Boardwalk and do
Sight some urban wildlife that be
Stopping by the Lincoln Park Zoo
As a chosen activity.
A cooper hawk, while flying by,
Decided to come down to ground
From lofty heights up in the sky
To perch a while and look around.
A berried tree in hues of fall,
Upon a limb the hawk did choose
To sense the time and place of all,
To seize a brief moment to muse.

For soon enough the hawk will go
Onward and upward in life's flow.
