Is Owl Wise Poetic Form: Cyrch a Chwta
Is owl wise ?
(Poetic Form :: Cyrch A Chwta)
Why they say, one can just guess;
Owls are silent, makes noise less;
Wise men speak less while address ,
deliver talks with no stress,
command respect, must confess
their guidance brings no distress.
They say, like wise, owl's insight
help to take right steps, no stress.
