Invisible on wings
(feather sings)
tawny-soft,
the clawed and hook-beaked
swoops,
curving air into a net,
(fretworked jet)
meshed with moonlight,
scoops in caged hand
a hot-blooded scrap,
(wing-flap, neck-snap)
and the night shrieks
in triumph.
So beautiful!
Thank you ๐ Owls are inspirational.
They certainly are. I love Owls. so mysterious.
Powerful and silent, unless they want to be heard.
Yes! So beautiful too.
And they have such musical voices ๐
I love Barn Owls best, so ethereal! ๐
They are certainly the most spectacular, but the call of the Tawny Owl is the one I like best.
Not familiar with that one. Will have to look it up.
If you go to you tube you can hear it calling ๐
Iโll do that.

I love the rhythm and rhyme of this one. So vivid!
Glad you like this one ๐
