Laura Leiser Poet Etheree

Owl

owl
alert 
nocturnal
large eyes, staring
through dark twilight skies
alone, his hoots echo 
he flies across the moonscape
ready to swoop down on his prey
listening, searching, casting shadows
as fall branches scratch at my windowpane

Connie Marcum Wong September 21, 2015 at 12:53 AM Laura, What vivid imagery that expresses the world of the owl perfectly! Hurry and get your name off there as she judges blind...hugs, Connie 7 Connie Marcum Wong September 21, 2015 at 1:02 AM Forget what I said about your name please...I see that everyone's name is under copyright. It must be something new Soup added. Andrea probably won't be able to see it. Sorry...
