The Barred Owl Preys

The fierce owl preys at night, wings spread wide It's dusk and the winds howl a warning Rabbits, and rodents scatter to hide The barred owl will hunt until morning It's dusk and the winds howl a warning A crow swoops down to protect its nest The barred owl will hunt until morning The hungry owl soon leaves, knows it's best A crow swoops down to protect its nest Rabbits and rodents come out again The hungry owl soon leaves, knows it's best In a tree the crow is perched in vain Rabbits and rodents come out again Rabbits, and rodents scatter to hide In a tree the crow is perched in vain The fierce owl preys at night, wings spread wide 5/7/2020 I originally wrote this for Eve's contest but then realized it is not written in personification form. I decided to post it anyway, but not for the contest.
