Garuda! Symbol of grandeur,
Great King of the birds,
Gorgeous eyes that sharply focus on
Green meadows, deep valleys and tall mountains!
Gruesome bird of prey that can hunt,
Gauge and spot with its keen eyesight,
Grip its prey with unerring accuracy and
Gladly enjoy a solitary splendour too.
Eagle!
Emblem of power!
Enriching countries and cultures!
Enduring Greeks worship the Zeus!
Efficient carrier of lightning and thunder!
Endearing guardian angel of the Incas!
Enlightened Hindus venerate the Eagle
Endowed with devotion for the vehicle of Vishnu!
‘Garudäsana' -the marvelous Yogic posture
Grand yet so precarious,
Grim concentration needed- to
Grill each limb to obey- to
Gyrate, twist and enfold within.
Garnet eyes! That can see miles and beyond.
Great Visionaries! The Yogis that stand in
‘Garudäsana'- meditating on the Sun.
Each stanza speaks of strength. From strength to speed and power. And power is within us. Power of the mind and body. I think this is finally to show that God is within us! something different...... nice

We have to learn many things from birds and we should grow with positive values. Many birds are vegetarian too and love to eat fruits and nuts. Many birds are sweet singers. Nightangle sings sweetly. Cuckoo's voice is vwet sweet. You have great visionary to judge upon birds. Your effort of penning this poem is highly appreciated.
Robbin birds are very cautious in taking care of their children. A Robin child waits for parents. A Child robin is fed by both father ad mother. In absence of mother, father of child takes care of his or her. The family of Robin bird is tied up with deep love. All members love each other and cooperate. When we look into the birds's kingdom we frequently feel the tenderness.
Birds have culture like human beings. Birds motivate mind of poet. Many ornithologist study on them. Birds are colourful and also they love colours. Precious smiles of birds we feel and we too smile hearing their chirping in joy. Birds recognize God's garden very well. Birds maintain cleanliness and help us. Behaviour of birds'community wonder us time to time.
Beauty of each bird not only motivates us but also give us perception of God's wonderful creation. Garuda is called as warrior carrier of Lord Vishnu and we know Garuda is Vahana of Lord. In many temples we see Garuda offering prayer. We see king of birds do meditation sitting before sun. Garuda transfers a powerful message to modern society to practice meditation and keep devotion.
Your G-E-G alliteration presentation about Garuda is definitely very informative, sweet and excellent. Garuda is very beautiful and King of all birds. We have scriptural connection with this poem. You have mentioned many names of birds and they have different behaviour and they express gratitude towards nature. Naturally birds are free and rejoice freedom of there own.
