Best Hoots Poems
A tree that has rotten roots,
Is like an owl that never hoots.
between dawn and night
spaces of time strains hours
except when owl hoots
In Scotland the reindeer arrived at a canter
And Rudolph gave Santa some humorous banter
His outfit was red
But sat on his head
A bright ginger wig and an old Tam O’ Shanter

the owl calmly hoots
while hidden in the darkness
to be heard, not seen

Hot summer's evening - Unwelcomed wind gusts - Frenzy of swirling leaves - Wildlife take cover - Thunder rumbles - Lightning's strike - Splattered rain Steaming pavements - Curbside rivers overflow - Sunken fields puddle - The calm after - Sunshine winks - Remnants of Gusts breeze - Flower heads lift - Children play - Animals drink - Birds sing - Nightfall approaches - Full moon glows - Stars twinkle - The owl hoots
Silent in flight
Deadly in the night
Haunting hoots give prey fright
With prey out of sight
Owls hear just right
Silent in flight
Talons of might
at the ready to smite
Deadly in the night
Moon is bright
Prey learn their plight
Haunting hoots give prey fright

Roots of Recruits Who Wear Suits Giving Hoots
It was like roots of recruits who wear suits;
Were involved in disputes and a gun shoots;
Always yearned;
Be concerned;
Must be involved while we give many hoots.
We must start giving a hoot for a change.

How can they make love when owl hoots,
In a deep forest, in nighttime pursuits,
With moonlight so bright,
They whisper, "Goodnight,"
To the owl, who just watches and toots!
