A Lonely Owl

Once long ago on a school visit to the zoo
My little one had just begun elementary school
High up on a tree branch sat a lonely owl
With his huge eyes shut, he could pass for any old fowl
Suddenly, he opened them and questioned, “Who? Who?”

Owls are very special birds, revered by some cultures as wise. When I lived in Tallahassee, I had rescued a baby owl from a hawk. Now I miss the serenade he provided each evening. A delightful entry for Barbara's contest and I wish you success, my friend. Love, Carolyn
