Eagle

by Hassan, 16
St. Edward High School, Lakewood, Ohio

The light pierced narrowly through the metal beams.
I saw The Eagle, melancholically digging
its claws into the dead wood.

But when The Eagle twisted its withered, white skull,
the light began to brighten. And I saw his<
Crown begin to glow with a fierce light.
And I felt his terrifying

gaze piercing into my being. But as
the sun fell into darkness and the
sky grew black, it began
to fade into the
Moonlight.
