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.


    Feb 6 2016 an original poem by Daniel Turner

That would be Buddy. Thank you for the pat on the back. I'm not sure you noticed but I wrote another sonnet. This time all on my own.

Well done Daniel. Especially like the last line, it is a masterful last brush stroke on a vividly visual write.

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

Very nicely crafted, Daniel. This is one I need to hurry and get to myself!

Thank you, Andrea. It was hard to come up with something original because Eve just about covered everything else. Have fun.

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

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.

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.
