Vitality, courage and bravery
First entry for the Real Poetic's One Year Anniversary Challenge
A fatherless puppy with its mom,
Nothing was with them but a graveyard to lodge in,
Navigator, the eagle was one day heading to the puppy,
I saw pup mom at the door of a soil grotto,
Vitality, courage and bravery pondered through her helplessness,
Eyes with such sharpness! I was wondering and mom,
Rested and counted in her terms 1 2 3,
She was only for the pup that moment,
Abruptly her muzzle dragged her son to her,
Rushing eagle destined to die without a beak,
Yaffed by mom, 'live within the limits till you grow!'
Thanks for reading my poem.
