You’ve done this great predator such justice. Through your rich and strong words, the owl soars high. Simply wonderful.

My daughter collects owls. My personal favourite is the barn owl who moves on silent feathered wings like a ghost You words capture the spirit of the bird

Ernestine, We have some land, woods that my husband hunt deer on. For the longest time in an old tree the was a very large, grumpy Owl. This poem reminds me of him (or her-we couln't tell) He would follow you with his eyes and could turn his head all the way around. We never found out what happened to him, probably found new territory. This is a wonderful piece filled with beauty and imagery. Thank you for sharing it! Blessings- TGR-(Theresa)
