Owls

OWLS

A Raptor who's lyrics are " who,who,who," 
and do we ever get to know who 
These wise old creatures- 
nocturnally displaying their best features- 
soar in the black of night on silent wings.
Their eyes aglow-to their pray it brings- 
much to late-a fear that only sings 
all their songs,in tones of dirges, 
as their life comes to an end and merges
with the essence of that wise old bird,
that before-it never even heard. 
Pray,that all rise
within the heart of the wise, 
on their long,and long journey
that leads all to the gates of eternity.

Wow, this poem is spectacular, by far one of my favorites I have ever read (and I'm not just saying that). Is it published or what? It's really good, and you are extremely talented... I've read some of your other poems as well. You should visit my site: poeticpossibilities.tk ! I think this poem could have a really good chance of winning one of our contests! Wish you the best with your poetry and I hope you get published! : )Jacob Cramer

I am most grateful Jacob, for your positive input, especially considering this is my second day, twenty fours plus. Having been put upon with so much negativity, by a few ( so far ), makes one wonder how many more disgruntled person are on this site ?
