Best Night Owl Poems

Sitting by her open window
Was a girl deep in thought,
Lost within a book of Poe
A perfect poem she sought

With a curious eye
He watches her pen,
For she gives it a try
Every now and then

He will visit her forevermore
In silent hours of midnight,
Casting his shadow on her...

As the moon sang a lullaby
to a distant star
The creatures below to sleep did sink
Except for the owl,  who didn't sleep a wink

 " What time do you  have" asked the owl 
" It's a  quarter to nine"
Said the  tree with...

We must realize
that we cannot take
all the challenges in one day
Optimism and positive expectation
Not tonight ... maybe tomorrow
at least not tonight

One place the limit must go
in a soft transition ... from day to night
Relax well before you go to bed
Sweet dreams

Oh, funny night owl; I relate
to you. I also stay up late!
My eyes, like yours, are mellow green
and staring too, but at a screen.

I stare at E-mails and TV
until I know that finally
I must retire myself to bed
and rest my weary night owl head.

I feel...

Hoot! Hoot! Came the call
In silence I listened,heard
Nothing.
Suddenly, hoot! Hoot! 
Came the cry,tree 
Branches rustling,wings 
Flapping.
Seems the world was in 
Oblivion-the absolute 
Silence.
Went I to the window 
and Looked into the 
empty Darkness. As I lay 
down,I Knew somewhere 
I would Hear that sound 
again....

Night owl


Wake up all the night,
Asleep whole day bright,
Am I a night owl ?

Ward of seriously sick,
Moving my neck at three-sixty is a trick,
Am I a night owl ?

Disease in fluffy plumage,
Prey to hooked talons' curettage,
I am a night owl !

Aboard in the black hours,
Be...

I know so well the warmth of cold moonlight,
For night is home to all keen thought, blissfully unmaligned.
Helios holds no sway with me, his journey out of sight,
Selene, my muse, guides my sweet nocturnal mind.

Supine, I float, and watch my ethereal phosphenes fly,
Till epiphany alights...

Mysterious – you go by night
You are a mistress of disguise.
You hunt for prey in silent flight.
Mysterious – you go by night
With ease of stealth avoiding sight
You stare wide-eyed: dreamy or wise?
Mysterious – you go by night
You are a mistress of disguise.

Lonesome these timed hours ...rustling low
That my wings flit in a parade,
Enchanting this child, and he smiles
Across moonlit lawns, unafraid.
Darkness reminds me to find joy
As I perch for morning's rest,
To gather strength,a new night's oath
Unfolding... relishing life's best.

Night Owl

While flying over a little new town

A nice friendly place called Hooters I found

It must have been opened for owls like me

For my large eyes to roll at what to see

A big building of large red stone and bricks

Full of big plump young good...

From 
Embalmed darkness
She toll
Her rhythmic dirge


Night's serene silent
Is gently
Deflowered

I'm a midnight sneak,
At Google I'll peak,
My eyes grow round and glow,
It's well after midnight, you know,
I'll filch some treats,
Addictions need sweets,
I'm quite house trained,
Computer feeds my brain,
All alone in this darkened room,
Stalking through these Google runes,
Is that five am to prowl?
Shhh, I'm insomniac midnight...

nocturnal eyes overhead
swoop down on blind mice...
