Anne-Lise Andresen Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

- Huge Eyes - Great For Seeing In the Dark -

Pupils suit every niche
Imagine seeing through the eyes of the animals
The truth and soul is hidden behind the perfect makeup
How does the world look like through a owls eyes
Many say the owl is a symbol of wisdom
Is that fact or a myth
Most people think that an owl is looking wise
Owls are master hunters, but not particularly wise
I admire them because they are unique in the natural world

Vladislav Raven February 16, 2016 at 1:49 PM Hi Anne-Lise, the owl, sublime in its soaring flight. I don't know about being wise, i guess everything in nature has some kind of intelligence. even if it is only some kind of protective instinct. The owl is a fearsome hunter, death from above is correct in this point. Owls can be very beautiful. Your gentle words sing as always Anne-Lise. I did enjoy reading this piece. A seven soars its way to you on owls wings Anne-Lise. Hugs....MIKE.

Demetrios Trifiatis February 14, 2016 at 3:45 AM Ancient Athens In Greece had as their symbol the Owl. They had it as a symbol of wisdom and even today we use it as such in our books.

Eileen Manassian February 13, 2016 at 7:02 PM Yes, they are a symbol of wisdom, Sunshine. In my part of the world...if you hear an owl hooting at night, it signifies death. It is superstition, and I don't believe it, but that is what people here believe. Hugs to you, dear one.
