Baby Eaglet in its Nest

by Treischel


A baby eaglet in its nest
Has very hungry mouth to feed
To keep it at its healthy best.
A baby eaglet in its nest
Allows its parent little rest,
Because of youth's voracious need.
A baby eaglet in its nest
Has very hungry mouth to feed.

A baby eaglet's huge sharp beak
Is always open for some food,
Or begging with a squawk or shriek.
A baby eaglet's huge sharp beak
Can rend the morsels that they seek
As mother feeds her hungry brood.
A baby eaglet's huge sharp beak
Is always open for some food.

A baby eaglet's infant head
Is covered with a fluffy fuzz -
An eagle feature that's been bred.
A baby eaglet's infant head
Is made for keeping eagles fed.
That's what a hungry eagle does.
A baby eaglet's infant head
Is covered with a fluffy fuzz.

This youngster's full of helplessness
Until the eaglet learns to fly --
A day of joy and happiness.
This youngster's full of helplessness
While parents offer tenderness
For their fluffy, fuzzy little guy.
This youngster's full of helplessness
Until the eaglet learns to fly.






Baby eaglets have a large fuzzy head that is required to hold up that massive beak. They eventually grow into it. The body and head is inttially covered in fuzz rather than feathers.

This poem is a suite of 4 Triolets.
A Triolet is a poem of only eight lines with a rhyme scheme of:
ABaAabAB, where the capitol letters indicate repeated lines. The fourth and seventh lines are the same exact line as the first. The eighth line is the same exact line as the second.
