To An Owl

Hi old companion from primitive dark When we look at the moon in delight You roll your eyes in curious quirk Why don't we wait and love dark night Like you do whether in sun or in rain For you know beauty sparkles best then When amidst intense stories of night You do have your lovely dancing height Look there the moon is splashing on The dream waters of the Mediterranean Now you will perhaps disembark For your primary pleasure plunder I am keeping awake to watch the spark The art of hunting in green grandeur ______________________________________ July 20, 2016

I love your poetry and the images they paint within the mind and within the emotions. This one is special to me for the images of my mother that it paints for me. Your poetry is quite a beautiful art form.

You have to be a person with keen observation to come that close to the nature of an Owl, my friend, Probir! The ancient Greeks had the Owl as the symbol of wisdom and still we use it today in our school books! Wonderful writing! I am certain you will be well-placed! A seven from me!
