Ode to a Great Horned Owl
Eyes wide open
Staring down
You watch my every move
Noble stance
Moves so slight
I dared to talk to you
What to say
To Mr. Owl
Perched up in the tree?
“Whooo Whooo
Who are You?
What d’you think of me?”
He stretched up
Wings spread wide
He flew straight my way
Talons huge
I ducked fast
Whew! He flew away.
Never mess
With Mr. Owl
Just watch him quietly
One majestic
Awesome bird
So full of dignity.
