An Owl Song by a Ten Year Old Naturalist  

 


My cute, nocturnal feathered fay
            Are you going the dodo way?
            Your weary wings screech for barns
            No rodents, no marshlands
            Mother Nature’s wondrous gift
            Homeless, jobless on wings adrift
            This nesting box is a gift from me
            Give me owlets I want to see

  1. Indeed all creatures are nature's gifts, each to be appreciated in its own way. Nice.

  6. Sumana , I am amused that the most hated bird has become a center point of a poem..You have written very well. I liked your gift 'the nesting box.'

  8. "Give me owlets, I want to see"....were you the ten year old naturalist, Sumana? Or perhaps your daughter? This is so lovely.
