Hoot of The Owl

 Glowing fireflies light up the night
 Showing their gleams, shining so bright
 Moon remains hidden by dark clouds
 Soon clouds will pass, release the shrouds
 Hoot of owl echoes in the dark
 Astute on its perch, finds its mark
 Flight of the owl as fireflies glow
 Right to its prey, its talons show

You captured the moment so vividly Joseph. I love owls, when i was growing up there was a family of 5 living in a tree in our garden ... I've never seen one in the wild since we moved to our little Island! hugs jan xx

Hello Joe, First I want to say that Owls are some of my favorite creatures. When I read your poem I thought what a great atmospheric piece, capturing nature’s quiet drama with precision. The rhythm flows effortlessly, like the owl’s flight, sharp, intentional, and mesmerizing. A beautifully crafted moment in the night’s air! Winter Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

Poor fireflies. Well, even the humble owl needs his protein
