Red Owl

Curtal Sonnet

By Kathy J AndersonPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

Owl dressed in red with yellow eyed stare

Comfy on its fir branch at midnight’s hour,

Flies hither to find baby hare or mouse

To fill the beak that hoots sudden, to scare,

Or flush prey from bush under bower

Beating wings power for this magnum chase

Chance brought into ochre sight of owl red

Reading the breezes for scent of sour’d

Dirty rodents fur thick with flea or louse,

Beneath starry skies moonlit beyond spread

In glorious reveal, owls slice space.
