TREEOWL


I came across you one summer's day
While rambling through countryside far away.
I found you such a beautiful thing,
So expertly crafted from claw to wing.

Every feather was true to life
And as I drew nearer I felt the knife
That had carved a totem from living wood,
Creating a species not yet understood.

You incarnated on Earth as a Tree,
But who you are now is what puzzles me.
Are you this Owl that my eyes behold,
Or is it still Spirit of Tree that you hold?

Your lack of movement denies the former,
Plus if you were he you'd feel much warmer.
Yet, although hewn from trunk you're more than Tree.
So Treeowl I conclude you to be!

    Such a charming poem. With brilliant flow. I can imagine though that the tree was long dead and the tree spirit would be pleased to be carved into such a magnificient shape to take flight at night. Lovely image of your treeowl :D

    Funny you mention coming across this carving on a sunny day Ygraine. I did the same a few years ago, at Rutland Water wasn't it!

    Rose, Thank you!
    I, too, can imagine it taking flight at night. How I'd love to ride on it's back - I wonder where it would take me?!

    Thank you. I have always felt a special connection to Owls (and to Trees), so this enchanting combination of both took my breath away!
    So happy you liked it:)

    Are you tired of being human, having talented brain turning to a vampire in a good posture in ten minutes, Do you want to have power and influence over others, To be charming and desirable, To have wealth, health, without delaying in a good human posture and becoming an immortal? If yes, these your chance. It's a world of vampire where life get easier,We have made so many persons vampires and have turned them rich, You will assured long life and prosperity, You shall be made to be very sensitive to mental alertness, Stronger and also very fast, You will not be restricted to walking at night only even at the very middle of broad day light you will be made to walk, This is an opportunity to have the human vampire virus to perform in a good posture.
