Greetings, everyone.
From now on, this is where I'll be posting my poetry that I submit to the forums. My old thread can be found here: Poems by tabby with all 26 poems that I've submitted here since I made my account to today.
I have an idea I want to present and get people's opinions on. I am considering compiling my poetry that I have submitted to the forums into a digital book at the end of the year (or later - depending on things), which will be able to be downloaded for personal enjoyment by the members of the JoS. I am also considering the possibility of including some poems that I haven't submitted to the forums before and will only be included in the book itself - this isn't set in stone yet, however.
This will be a personal project I gradually work on depending on people's thoughts about it.
Please let me know if this is something anyone would be interested in and want a copy of. Cheers!

For today, to kick off this new thread, I want to honor Soaring Eagle 666, and thank him for his hard work.
The Bald Eagle
The wind calls my name in hushed whispers;
high on a cliff, I watch over all below.
Sol warms my back with his golden rays;
reflecting on my feathers, ever perfect and mellow.
A yearning I feel, to answer this call;
the current that lifts me higher and more.
It carries my voice through the valleys and hills;
as I smile with my eagle grin, evermore.
My talons kept me steady, balanced, and strong;
blades against these rocks, mighty and unyielding.
My wings, outstretched, glorious they make me;
lifting me into the noon-lit sky, I am soaring.
