You’ve done this great predator such justice. Through your rich and strong words, the owl soars high. Simply wonderful.
'a schemer with a cunning scheme'. I have to remember that one! Excellent, a perfect ode to a wise predator. loved it.
The owl is a beautiful bird as is your poem, well written. Andrew x
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
Patient energy... I love this poem Ernestine - you have such a talent for capturing the moment and the image... Steve
I loved this one for its imagery, and the expressions used are just at the right places. You are a very talented lady!
Another gift to my owl collection, a perfect poem for a perfect bird of prey. cheers Sylvie
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)

Ernestine, Great imagery. I could almost see it happening. Shannon
I love owls, Ernestine. such wonderful and vivid creatures of the night. a poem to a genuine master of darkness, but a symbol of wisdom.
I enjoyed reading this great poem. Thank you for sharing this example of bold animal.
