Shadow Hamilton Poet Etheree

Owl Etheree

A
Barn Owl
sits up high,
head twisting round.
Rustling undergrowth,
he swoops silently down.
Shrill screech of terror and pain,
the evil deed done, he returns home.
Three fluffy chicks hungrily await,
they feast, stocking up for the winter months.

Andrea Dietrich October 1, 2015 at 2:29 AM I really loved the ending of this one,Shadow. how the chicks feast on the "evil deed" done by the parent! This one would have been higher but you put one extra syllable in line 7. Congrats in my contest.
