I Am a Horned Owl
Owls Personification Form Contest
Sponsor: Eve Roper
I SIT SILENT during the day.
I FLY FREELY during the night.
Being nocturnal I catch prey only in the night,
by day I keep quiet and I stay out of sight.
My face feathered fur is shaped like a heart,
Strength twenty eight pounds, tear my prey apart.
I am a horned owl with my ear like tufts,
intimidating yellow eyes, deep and robust.
I eat many animals that are heavier than myself,
I carry them to my nest with out any help.
I'm female and much stronger than my mate,
my best feature is my golden eyes, very innate.
Flying freely through America where I was born,
for I have a tough stature, beautiful yet horned.
I just left the desert right through Arizona,
next is the grasslands in southern Oklahoma.
I found an Osprey carcass heavier than me,
for I am the strongest owl in American History.
Last night I got excited hunting a big pelican,
I tore him apart, all that was left was a skeleton.
I corner little rodents and love to eat other owls,
I have also been known for eating various fowls.
My life is much grander than other owls I know,
I know how to fly faster, up, down, to and fro.
Being nocturnal I catch prey only in the night,
by day I keep quiet and I stay out of sight.
