Night Owl Poem by Richard D Remler
Night Owl
.............................
I spied an Owl
In a tree.
I spied an Owl,
And it watched me
It watched me with
Such watchful eyes,
Clever, shrewd,
Cagey, wise.
It stretched its wings,
It took its time.
It stretched its wings,
And I stretched mine.
But neither he,
And neither I
Found the perfect
Time to fly.
The stars were out,
They shimmered bright.
It seemed an almost
Perfect night,
As I spied it,
And it spied me.
We'd grown accustomed
To the company.

The more he saw the less he spoke
'The less he spoke the more he heard;
Why aren't we like that wise old bird? "
