Little Night Owl
Oh little owl of the night This ode is wrote for you I hope it finds you safe and well In everything you do Residing in your little nest As safe as safe can be Sheltered from the outside world And all its agony Oh little owl of the night With your hair of golden brown And eyes that sparkle endlessly Amidst your playful frown Watching as the world goes by Like an ever spinning wheel Will you ride the carousel And show just how you feel Oh little owl of the night You never seem to rest Morning, noon and evening time Pursuing every quest Thinking of your many plans And in your mind you search For answers that will move you on As you swing upon your perch Oh little owl of the night What pains your weary soul Do you yearn a love of yesterday That once made you so whole Do you carry him within your heart From this love will you be free Are you resigned to love this boy For all eternity Oh little owl of the night I wish you everything That you will find real happiness With the joy that it will bring So whenever you feel lonely Or whenever you feel blue Remember that your one true love Is still in love with you |

| This is very sweet Frank, I really enjoyed reading it. I found myself wondering if it was written by a father to a daughter ar from home. Perhaps she ran away from home to test her wings, or maybe is away at school. Or it could be for a past love too,---I guess that's why I like it som much,--because you don't tell all,--and the reader can fill in their own blanks. Your use of rhyme and repetition makes the poem flow along rhythmically and you keep the "little night owl" image fresh throughout with words like frown, perched, nest-- Thanks for submitting Sally | Posted on 2008-12-05 00:00:00 | by Silverdog | [ Reply to This ] | Delightful read! I think this "Little Owl" is not the feathered kind, but a "night owl" of the feminine person kind! Ah, but the poem is delightful, and fun to read. From the title, one expects a nature theme, and instead finds an energetic, caring, and delightful love poem! | Excellent, as all of your work tends to be!! | Posted on 2008-12-02 00:00:00 | by Ron Cole | [ Reply to This ] | |
