Owl

swooping down to darkened ground

soaring in on blackened sound

silence is his greatest moat

staying still his wings a float

sampling all the breaths in air

seeking to see which game is fare

sailing on the carpet night

swallowing gust to help give fright

glaceing his head from right to right

gliding through this bird of no light

That was both scientifically accurate and composed as if by the masters themselves Jessica, Incredible it is endearing to me because I had an owl as a companion pet for many years and they are very interesting creatures, keep up the good work
