The eagle stared, a gleam in her eye
She takes off, her wings expanding in full
Her shadow filled the sky with a subtle glory
With swift moves she glides, high in the air
So controlled, so self aware
At the same time she's free
No ties to keep her bound
As a person is free, so also they must be bound
Independent as they may be, they must also be tied to the ground

this was great. I can see why you got an A+ on it. Very good write. I loved the contrast.

This is an interesting poem, the first stanza is a beautiful description of an eagle taking flight, and the contrast of a human, who does have the freedom but will never be able to have that freedom of just taking flight. Beautiful.
