Owl

This week’s poem is the first I have written with inspiration, comments and encouragement from an online expat writers group I have recently joined, and is a mix of memories and imagination. A step in a new direction.

Owl

 

Moonrise

owl wakes in the night

blinks round eyes,

frowns at the moon,

takes flight

Cat,

high stepping

across the dewy lawn

takes fright,

Yowl and hoot

And the scurrying of mice

 

Wingbeats

Owl swooping over dark fields

Silent dark shadow

seeing what night

conceals,

Eyes,

Round glowing

slow-blinking eyes

existence reveals

Moon smiles

Silent reflections on the lake

  1. I do not know whether it’s just me or if everyone else experiencing problems with your site.
    It appears as if some of the text within your posts are running
    off the screen. Can somebody else please comment and let me
    know if this is happening to them too? This may be a problem with my internet browser because I’ve had this happen previously.
    Appreciate it

  2. I blog quite often and I genuinely thank you for your content.
    This article has really peaked my interest. I’m going to book mark your site and
    keep checking for new information about once
    per week. I subscribed to your Feed too.
