Dear Daniel, your vivid Haiku captures the essence of the "snowy owl's feathers" with lovely sensory imagery. The many "S" sounds in your poem serve to effectively emphasize both the snowy owl's softness and silent stealth. Your appreciation for Nature shines! Warmest wishes my friend.. ~Susan

When I was growing up we used to have a massive tree bordering us, the neighbours and the local school, there was a family of 5 owls that lived in the tree, few people knew of them but the science teacher at school used to go and observe them on a regular basis:-) hugs jan xx

This is absolutely gorgeous dear daniel, the alliterations and use of descriptive words here and simile used too to compare snowy owls feathers to winter snow, is beyond impeccable: i always love a good haiku, and yours flow so well in such eloquence: especially love the last line. So much has been conveyed in few syllables. Pleasure always reading your work. Hope holidays treat you well.

Hello Hilda, Thank you for your nice comment. Owls are definitely my favorite, and I just finished reading a new book about owls, which inspired me to write this haiku. I do have more owl poems coming in the future. - Happy Holidays, Blessings, Daniel

Wonderful imagery in your haiku Daniel.. I really liked how your finished it with Silent Sentinel... nice use of words to create the outcome your wanted..

Daniel Henry Rodgers

Hello Silent One, Kudos to you and I am very happy you saw that, knowing that owls for the most part are silent fliers due to the structure of their feathers. - Blessings, Daniel!
