I was out along the shores of the Mississippi yesterday, March 13, 2015 when I spotted an Eagle's nest and this male nearby. Another Eagle came near, and this one started shrieking to warn it off. I captured it in my lens while it was doing that. They mentioned on the news the other day that Minnesota has the largest Eagle population in the US, outside of Alaska. At any rate, it's cry was the inspiration for this poem.

This poem is a Mono-rhyme Poem.
A Mono-rhyme poem is a poem of any number of lines, that has the same rhyme at every end line. A mono-rhymed poem can be accomplished in one of three ways. It can rhyme every line throughout the entire poem. Alternately, it may only mono-rhyme each stanza. Finally, the rhyme may be interspersed throught the poem, even beyond endlines, as in a free style poem. As long as there is the only rhyme in the poem, it's a Mono-rhyme. Typically, no rhyme repeats itself, but there can be exceptions.

This picture was taken by the author himself using the 50X zoom on his Cannon Power Shot SX50 HS camera. This nest was actually 200 yards away, across the river, on an island near Cottage Grove, Minnesota.
