Phyllis Babcock Poet Free verse

The Snowy Owl

When the sun sets in the western sky

And night descends upon the land

The snowy owl awakes from his rest

And in the forest seeks a dinner guest

This nocturnal hunter sits and waits

 With one graceful swoop from it's branch

Appears like a white ghost

Swiftly and silently gets it's prey

Any movements noticed

In one swoop catches it's meal.
