Owl
Perched in the shadows of night
With bold eyes that pierce and peer,
Watching for dining delight
Of rodents and chicklets near,
Staunch and stoic pretender,
Icon of worldly wisdom,
Waiting chicklets to plunder,
To squeeze with bloody talon.
Creature of darkness, lurking
In shadows to take from earth
Birds rising to chirp and sing,
Little chicks, clucking at birth.
Robbing the beauty of light,
From those that frolic by day;
Conquering in dark of night,
Taking sleeping ones away.
"Whoo-whoo!" sounds begin to preach,
Arrogant words in the night,
Eerily echoing to teach
Doctrines of evil taking flight.
Morbid creature of darkness,
Siren of night, singing your verse;
Pied piper of emptiness,
Lurking to babble your curse.
Hoot! Screech! Cry in arrogance
Blasphemous, treacherous lies
In whorey dark vigilance
To seduce with evil eyes.

Hi Larry,
You don't like Owls then ?
Why ? Is because of the perceptions illustrated in your prose of them being seen as Darknesses creatures ?
They are messengers of Spirit too.
I like the prose though.
:D
I didn't write it; i'm not larry.
I just thought it was an insteresting take on the owl thing.
I've been seeing a lot of negative owl imagry around lately.
For example the Masons use the owl all the time. GWB, etc also.
Interesting that owls are now on my favorite forum!
LOL @ my mistake.
Thanks for your reply.
My daughter's Familiar is the Owl.
Unfortunately, so many people use poisons to get rid of mice and rats, the Owls eat them and they die too. Not many left around here anymore, it's such a shame.
:)
Owl from Winnie the Pooh is neat.
I like owls. My dad reminds me of an owl.
