All Hail the King of Birds

By Cristiano O.

A peregrine falcon flies around the skies

One the look out for it’s prey
Around the sound it flies –
Daring shore birds to play.
The “king of birds” wingspan is impressive.
It’s speed is lighting fast.
Eyes trained on the ground, it becomes aggressive
And dives for dinner at last.
