Scowl of the Owl

.


cracle of dry twigs

  cracked the stillness,

    the quiet of April's

      blistering noonday

 

          gray owl flew out

             from dense foliage

               into sun's fiery glare,

                 losing,  finding its way

 

                     it flapped noiselessly

                       upward in slow spirals,

                         scowling down, then

                           soared far away, blindly!
