Snowy Owl

As day turns to night she's awaken
hunter, food provider for her brood,
Stretch, flap wings, feathers shaken,
pitch black, one thing on her mind
nocturnal rodents high protein food,
with stealth she flies, silent, streamlined,
eyes clear, professional killer,  all fears
especially mice, vole, one way blood feud,
when our snowy owl silently appears.

Nocturna.
