you will never find an owl
that is ever wearing glasses
Piercing eyes an orange
and a black
owls are wondrous raptors
philosophers to boot
You will never hear them say a lot
perhaps, a hoot
fierce beyond imagination
nocturnal in their space
no eye tests for the family owl
just a feathery face.
a sentinel under the moon
draped in a feathery gown
judicious to the very end
empirical and sound.
