Homage To Great Horned Owl

great horned owl with headlight eyes
like yellow moons they are a huge surprise
you are a male of few words, we hear you swoop
you leave others behind as you glide and loop

there is fear in the woodlands when you appear
your presence is felt, some creatures shed a tear
knowing their loved ones might be in trouble now
you are gorgeous in your beauty – you caught one. Ow!
