Majestic Snow Owl

Before me is the majestic snow owl Wing span so large it covers my whole side He surely keeps his mighty cloak and cowl Before me is the majestic snow owl He’s the greatest of the birds, best of fowl Owl hoots showing that he has his own pride Before me is the majestic snow owl Wing span so large it covers my whole side

GREAT image of the majestic snow owl. And I took people's advice and changed my first haiku out of the contest and put in a different haiku posted here long ago!
