The Owl

It was a silent, misty night.

The wise, old bird

sat motionless in the pale moonlight.

He winked an eye

then flew silently into the

dark , dusky sky.

He spread his feathers,

mottled and brown,

gliding over the sleeping town.

Then he made a mournful shout-

be warned, little creatures,

the owl is out!!!
