Crimson’s Creative Challenge #56
Eagle landing on a pole,
Locus bright
Talons caught upon the web
turning day to night
Eagle’s wing pinioned on a lyre
Vega was the ancient gyre
Remembered now, a star alone
Alas, the eagle turned to stone
Ivy tangles talons now
Polaris and a lesser plough
crispina kemp 
Wonderful poem! ❤

Delicious rhyme scheme. Quite appropriate references made to this star of the feather-world….

Thank you.
Apparently, 13000 bce, Vega in Lyra was the polestar, and was subsequently portrayed as an eagle.

I’m impressed by the rhyme of “lyre” with “gyre.”
