swoop down on blind mice...

Under clement moon
sits a night owl with pen...
her prey poetry.

From 
Embalmed darkness
She toll
Her rhythmic dirge


Night's serene silent
Is gently
Deflowered

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

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 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.

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....

She hid in powdered face and red lips
at the lounge much white wine she did sip
and when on the prowl
she'd find a night owl
cause, this "Cougar" she shot from the hip.....

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

World...

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

An old soul with a young heart
A small voice in a large part
A night owl on a bright day
I hope we all may find our way
For the stars await our arrival
We’re meant for more than survival 
I know we’ll find our way out
So bring your poems to a shout!

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....

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”...

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...

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....

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......

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....
