An Owl At Night

There is a picture In my living room Hanging on the wall I stare at it This is what i see It is the setting Of a large forest A stream divides it In the late evening I see a white owl Sitting on a branch Staring, wide-eyed Quickly he swoops down Gliding to the ground He captures his prey Then enjoys his meal

Maybe he caught a mouse. Sounds like a very nice picture.

It is lovely to see an owl up in a tree staring at nothing. The owl looks so wise

Hello Darlene, I dropped by to take a look at your listing of poems. (I see that you are certainly actively writing and posting -- which is great!!) Thanks too for your comment on my Canzone, entitled: "Dreams Divine." I really like your free verse depiction here of "An Owl at Night." Living here in central Germany in a small town near an immense forested area, there are many owls out at night. My wife and I are actually enthralled by the nature of these wonderful birds. Great Poem!! Best, Gary
