Snowy Owl

In majestic beauty I stand alone My lifetime mate included Together on land we build our home Preferably secluded My five foot wingspan is solid white Hunting is done in the light Fish, rabbits, rodents and birds are nice Lemmings are a daily delight With yellow eyes and beard of black I rule my frozen domain Neither fox nor wolf would dare attack Even eagles are aware of my fame The ghost like snowy male owl am I With razor sharp talons to die for Arctic tundra is where I prowl up high Where snow peaks are just the ground floor.
