I'm not ready to go.... But if I must, I pray it will be as peaceful and freeing as this...
This taps into my Algonquin heritage... I pray the eagle will guide my final flight home...

Your poems comfort me...
Comment from Gloria ....
Excellent use of extended metaphor to draw to the future of soaring above the mountains to leave the withered fields behind once and for all.
Very nice, and I still get a charge out of the Eagle's long-feathered pants that go right to their ankles.
Thank you for sharing. :)

Jijei can be written as a haiku or tanka. The details are on my notes.
Thank you, ap

Comment from lyenochka
It is with those spiritual experiences of "soaring with eagles" that we can "leave behind the withered fields" of the past or even of this mortal life. Your poem reminds me of that passage in Isaiah 40:31 "but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles."

Jisei - Written in Modern Tanka
Flying High

I loved your tanka about eagles reminds of when I see eagles. They are amazing to watch. The way you tell us readers that --
a Japanese poem written by the poet before their own death
helps to make your Jisei tanka stand out.
Yes, we have eagles in Vermont.

Comment from Beri Bee
I absolutely love the use of "high over the highest" here! I can see and feel it in my mind's eye. The SOUL soaring with eagles feels magical. I remember hearing that only a few souls can soar with eagles, while the rest stay on the ground like turkeys looking up with their mouths open... drowning on water when it rains. Thanks!

Comment from Teri7
This is a very well written 31 syllable Modern Tanka. You used very good descriptive words and very neat imagery to go with your words. Does it have to be about something Japanese to write for the club?

No, you can write it in any subject. You can write as haiku or tanka. Remember is about death of the poet.
Thank you, my friend. I appreciate your kind review and feedback.

Comment from Carolyn Dooley
Now you are talking or flying. This is the way to go. Going for the gusto of life. Staying on course high up in the sky. Keeping a birds eye view from above. Thank you for sharing this poem.

When I was young I would dream quite often about being able to rise up off the ground and watch the people walking down below, I guess my imagination would turn to writing one day, and it did. Beautifully written blessings Roy

I dreamed about flying too. I think we all do until we are taught we can't.
Thank you very much, Roy.
