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. © 2011 by Janice D. Green
