*hawk Mountain* Poem by Trisha Hopkins

*hawk Mountain*



November.24.2003
Trisha M. Barrek-Hopkins

Flying way high above the mountain
With his wings spread out so wide
The hawk spots his pray by the spring fountain
The pray spots the shadow and scurries to hide

So free so peacefully in the sky
To fly as they please
I wish i could feel as free
A freedom of its own in the clouds so high
I wish through his eyes i could see
A gorgeous sight he could of shown
It must see cool to live where he may be

Hawk Mountain there is almost no worry
For they are so far up so close to heaven
If people don't stop hunting they will be gone in a hurry
And their beauty will be stored on in a book
Because these hunters are too selfish
The elegance The peacefulness The hunters stole they took
Hunters do not care they just want to be rich

Banish the hatred banish the greedy
Lock them up and throw the key away
Let the hawks soar freely
So they don't have to worry for another day

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I was reading an article in the newspaper a couple years ago about Hawk Mountain and the Hawks that live there and how people are killing them. I got this poem in my head from that article...
I would love to visit Hawk Mountain one day with my family before the hawks are all gone.
