Barn Owl Poem by Sally Plumb Plumb

Barn Owl

Rating: 5.0


Night flyer...you preen yourself
with moonlight
and enfold the stars
beneath your wings.

Your eyes are coloured
rapier cold
as you partake
of the delicate and old.

I'm fascinated by owls. I had a house until 18 months ago with an extensive woods in the back yard, At night I would fall asleep to their hootings, a particularly soft type of bird call, Your images of the owl are sharp and clear You add just the right amount of fantastic language to make us aware we must respect the owl and its alien nature..

I love poems that have nature and animal themes to them, nothing makes me more delighted to read a work that is about the beauties of nature, and this was charming stuff. Thank you
