Owls, Silent Magic In Flight

Owls, Silent Magic In Flight Owls in flight glide so deadly silent prey dies so quickly and violent Claws just as sharp as a razor knife nightime is the owl's hooting life! Resting in tall trees in the hollow the night's moon they have to follow No shrieks as they swoop down on prey owl's eating demands business not play! A beauty shines with feathers and eyes smooth flight in dark forested skies Owls are held to be old and very wise to love and admire if one simply tries! A treasure to love and attempt to protect Tragic if we fail due to ignorance and neglect! 07/27/2014 Night Owl - Poetry Contest Sponsor -Kelly Deschler

This is awesome and I love owls. I deliver newspapers at night on a rural route so sometimes see them and always love the experience. Your poem should win. God bless you and happy writing.
