Black king seeks a pawn, the hour ... ink affects,
pleasures acquaint of camouflage tactics,
pleasures game on, decent for chess, black tux,
meet in a square, grassy looks seemed protects.
Hopes for one more nights ... hopes this be the night.
Former spokesrat; the lamb, sized a rat.
Latter spokesowl; Spotted, laid placemat.
Mirage sways the assured and fates the trite.
Sole cousin of Barn Owls, they're world-renown
as true owls. They're cool daredevil cliffers,
and foresters as their declining numbers
'Near Threatened' by ICUN, useless stare down
as other fauna group waits screaming crimes ...
paints and films of death grow; signs of our times.
