Daniel Turner Poet Personification

Snowy Owl

In majestic beauty I stand alone
My lifetime mate included
Together on land we build our home
Preferably secluded
My five foot wingspan is solid white
Hunting is done in the light
Fish, rabbits, rodents and birds are nice
Lemmings are a daily delight
With yellow eyes and beard of black
I rule my frozen domain
Neither fox nor wolf would dare attack
Even eagles are aware of my fame
The ghost like snowy male owl am I
With razor sharp talons to die for
Arctic tundra is where I prowl up high
Where snow peaks are just the ground floor.

Eve Roper February 14, 2016 at 11:23 PM Daniel , your “ Snowy Owl” was wonderful! Thank you so much for writing a very special poem for my contest I was honored. Happy Valentine’s Day Hugs Eve Daniel Turner February 15, 2016 at 6:46 AM Thank you! Eve, for the wonderful comment. It was fun, maybe we can do it again sometime.

John Lawless February 8, 2016 at 3:10 PM Well done Daniel. Especially like the last line, it is a masterful last brush stroke on a vividly visual write. Daniel Turner February 8, 2016 at 3:40 PM Thank you, John. It was a pretty tough challenge for me. I don't really know how to write prose so rhyming everything can be vexing at times. Thank you for your time and your kind comments. Peace, my friend

Andrea Dietrich February 7, 2016 at 5:20 PM Very nicely crafted, Daniel. This is one I need to hurry and get to myself! Daniel Turner February 7, 2016 at 5:27 PM Thank you, Andrea. It was hard to come up with something original because Eve just about covered everything else. Have fun.

Connie Marcum Wong February 6, 2016 at 7:05 PM I wrote about the snowy owl too Daniel, but your poem is so much better. I am still working on mine and may enter it. You have picked out all the majesty of this beautiful bird and with concise creativity. Just beautiful Daniel. #7 Daniel Turner February 6, 2016 at 7:14 PM Thank you, Connie. I apologize for stealing your thunder. It was the only thing I could figure out to do without copying Eve's wonderful poem. I'm sure yours is better, you're just being modest.

Jan Allison February 6, 2016 at 1:39 PM FABULOUS Daniel I love the rhyme and personification good luck in the contest:-) Hugs Jan xx Daniel Turner February 6, 2016 at 1:41 PM Thank you, Jan. Had I have done anything else, I would have had to copy off of Eve"s poem. I tried to find something original. Thanks for the flowers.
