OWL CALLING (2 SHORT POEMS)

‪OWL CALLING (1)

Outside somewhere near and far‬
‪Drifting through heavy damp air‬
‪The five o'clock tawny owl‬
‪Mournfully invisibly‬
‪Greets the dawn‬
‪In unseen distant trees‬
‪Black against the fading night‬

MAWH, April 2018


‪OWL CALLING (2)

Her soft loving call
Piercing the darkness
In a chilly living room

The peace of the valley
Softly broken
As dawn is breaking

Joining in
This symphony
Robins, blackbirds, tits

The unseen owl
Mourning the morning
And she is gone

MAWH, April 2018
