Shivering 
in gusts of black ice
night owl stuck
in grim spot
enshrouded by stern dark gauze
yet smothered grit reigns

Indigo moon
Nestled in night clouds
Silvery light blooms
Painting night owl
In the treetops 
Ready to fly
Eager to watch dinner from the sky

Night Owl

From 
Embalmed darkness
She toll
Her rhythmic dirge


Night's serene silent
Is gently
Deflowered

Crashing Hour

You are my night owl
I am your morning breeze
That deepen your dormancy
My existence in your insensibility
Your presence never in my second
Our hour nevermore light on

Premium Member Night Owl

dusk sets
full moon
night brought
perch high
owl hoots
head turns
shape drift
one side
on ground
snatch prey

still lull
tucked in
snug, warm
calm sleep
till morn

Needing extra sleep 'cause
nodding off in day time.
Nestling on the couch or
nice and comfy on bed.
Not just for small children;
night owl activities
necessitate a nap.

NIGHT-OWL
feathered winged bird
hooting flying down action
see's a mouse outreaches his claws
who's that he squawks and calls

No Tower of Babble Now

Good Morning Night Owl.
Why do we leave the light on?
Where the Lamp-post sheds its skin.
The Trumpet pours, the passion flour.
Our constitution is number 1.
A dustless preamble.
Borderline masonry must not crumble.

I Wanted You

I  wanted you to come to me and refresh my soul. I wanted  you to be the dream of this night owl. I wanted you to come to me and sway my belief. I wanted you to come to I,and set me free. May be I was barking up the wrong tree.

Three AM

She sits,
feathered robe
silent in the wind.

Unblinking eyes,
colder than the
iced terrain,
peer into
pained whiteness.

Gripping tightly
slender hope.

The Night Owl

He'd be the only one wide awake under his roof,
writing poems and posting them all on poetry soup,
munching loudly on a midnight snack,
wife about to give powerful smack,
leaving behind his crumbs and not giving an owls hoot.

Premium Member Good night 2

Great night to sleep tight
Onyx sky looking at stars
Owls hoot a piercing cry
Did he just call sweetheart 

Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray that I wake up
Good night poet or good morning 
Hope you get plenty love

Poetry Painting

Images of night
Colors of the day
Messages of love
Sometimes tragedy
This is what I grasp

Laughter and tears
Depth of my soul
My heart moves me
To pen my verse

In wee hours
I create
My poems

Night owl
Paints her

Night Owl

grabs a hat from the hatstand 
fraught, he warps the midday sun
no apricating mellow touch
in haste, too early a venture
while camouflaged conspirators
beckon to no end, lest he dawdles 
through waxing moonlit gossamer 
and warms the trees of dusk

Premium Member Dance of the Frogs and Banditweets

The dance of the light frogs and the banditweets went on forever
I listened to their croaks and watched the robins flock and feather.
The night owl had something wise to say but it sounded like a hoot.
What else could happen? Asked a Dracula driven nose dog bandicoot.

Night Owl

I sit on my branch 
eyes wide and bright
determining when
to burst into flight
chasing one of the many
creatures of the night
that all scamper away 
acting upon fright
I swoop down with elegance
its quite a sight!
“Try imagine being an owl”
“I think i just might”

Premium Member Night Owl

Needles of sleep still in my eye
Indigo dreams push, pass me by
Given the fullest bladder from hades 
Have to run to the toilet makes a crazy
Teal thoughts of poetic bliss

Onyx night sky I’d be scared to remiss
Whites of my eyes turning red 
Lovelies goodnight going back to bed

By the Window Stair

up by the window stair
the night owl screeches by
out in the opal night
stretching across the sky

up by the old tin roof
i hear the lady call
out in the darkest night
she bids me to fall

up by the paling moon
when the nightly death does spake
out in the cold cold night
the lady comes my soul to take

Glimpse of Morning For a Night Owl

A sheer blanket of Rose
Flowers from the place where the earth drops off
Source yet unknown for beauties face still rests,
awaiting times unveiling 
Awaken Beaming Brilliance; bright and burning
Earth turns its side, revealing the wide eyed beauty
Darkness retreats, and cowers in cracks
Waiting for its re-emerging.

Night Owl

It flies and settles on a tree branch,
waiting for fish to pop out of the lake,
to enjoy the moonlight.

A group of kids sits around a bonfire,
trembling with fright,
as they keenly listen to the owl's hooting.

"The bogeyman is being ushered in...."
one of the kids says, with a breaking tone......

The Night Owl

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.

Life

When there is a dawn, 
There is night owl falling into a hole of fantasy. 
They don't stop to take a sip.

When there is a sunset,
There is a traveler wanting to catch the sun. 
They don't stop to take a dip. 

Life has its beginnings and its ends, 
But I rather chase life, 
Instead of drinking coffee in the cafés of Berlin.

Night Owl

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 owl!

Night Owl

Why do I pace the floor
my mind a jumbled mess
while my wife lies sleeping
so peaceful and at rest?

My body aches, I cannot sleep
tho I want to be by her side.
But I only toss and turn all night
disturbing my sweet bride.

And so I sit at this computer
and try to type some words
thinking I might say something
no one has ever heard.

Night Owl

Night owl.
I sit on my pouch at night and hear the night owls hoot.
First one then another call back and forth
You can hear them far away.Another here and there.
Hoot hoot they cry just to see who answers them.
A coyote off in the far distance answers with a howl.
Hoot hoot at times I think they are talking to me. 
The night owls up late like me.
