Raptor Release

by Treischel

Release a Raptor to its home,
Forever skyward it may roam.
Once injured in a harmful way,
Its Convalescence ends today.

Humane concern for living things,
As well as hope that knowledge brings,
Can make the world a better place
For creatures here that share its space.

It's been a while since you've been whole,
Restricted from your lofty role.
You've healed! There is no need to stay.
So now rejoice, and fly away.

Fly Away!

FLY AWAY!

I attended a release event by the Minnesota Raptor center at a beautiful park along the bluffs of the St. Croix river. What an inspiring event! It celebrated 50 years of caring for injured birds. It caused me to write this poem and create this pictorial of the activity.

This poem is a suite of three aabb rhymed quatrains with a meter of iambic tetrameter.

These pictures were taken by author on September 26, 2014 at the Carpenter Nature Center.
