An Owl Song

Short hoo hoo to the distant space A hoo hoo from an unknown space The top of a branch perched in a tree That is where the song of the owl begins Carrying off into the wind at night An owl that is perched not taking flight Searching with the keen eyesight Giving a hoo hoo for any others nearby Owl a song a hoo hoo only heard Hoo hoo the owl song after midnight falls Who is the word of this predator bird As the owl in the distant perched late night calls Listening to another small and more high pitched The two owls call a song to one another Where are you two owls that are calling out? Closing my eyes to wish to see the distant trees where the owls be Knowing the hoo hoo is a call from they The two owls after midnight that sleep all day Communicating the nightly bird way With a vocal of who who are they? One male possibly one female to match These owls that hoo hoo to gain an attack Smart as they are to be in a tree High up the two owls love to hoo hoo for me What is it they do the two owls that sing? Directing the movement into the prey with each hoo hoo they bring Far to the left and far to the right Together the owl song is the battle cry Uniting the high flight and deep tone Different directions of a hoo hoo owl song The moment of sight to capture the prize Keen are the two owls who sing the song at nights eyes

Your poem rhymes and flows very well Kristina.. Now this could be about two owl, or two lovers who roam the night...

Well what do you believe two owls in the night are? If not partners in the hoot of the hunt. ;-) I was thinking when writing of the relationship between the two and the connection of a long distance relationship.
