Abrasive Hawk

What gallant form from vaunted perch does alight
Leaving tailwind that unassuming gawkers affright
Whose tawny shadow the sun's rays does blight;
Swarthy silhouette shading glint so erudite
Whose tan-welted oars the azure seas do smite;
With swift strokes the ethereal waves to unrequite
Whose beige shield occludes satin ramparts line of sight;
O'er silted folds his opaque image to highlight
What spindling machine does wind's, billowy currents spite,
With each, sweeping motion a cylinder does ignite
What grainy visage does earth's footstool beknight,
With majestic crown his diminutive subjects to delight
What predator drone spreads its cerebral kite;
Soaring fowl, creeping ermine safe sanctuary to slight
Whose steely eyes sky's tenants do frivolously indict;
His insatiable, rapacious appetite to expedite
