Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
The earth had spun; a shadow covered all;
In darkest night I heard the darkness call:
“Who, who into my forest has withdrawn!?
Who, who would dare to hide before the dawn!?”

I cowered by an oak, I softly cried,
I shivered, in the darkness nearly died,
I – listen! – heard the voice of watching death,
I froze – I held my ice-encrusted breath!.

“Who, who has taken shelter ‘til the day!?
Who, who is now my trembling, infant prey!?
Who, who has come to hide beneath my bower
And midnight’s wide-winged, black-eyed beast empower!?”

I felt the presence of that wicked force!
I knew how near and deadly was the source!
I urged myself – ‘Go! Do it, if you can!’ –
I found my legs, I paused, I tensed, I ran!.

The silence of the night was ripped apart –
My heavy, wheezing breath, my thumping heart,
The twigs that broke beneath the thundering boot –
But worse, those shrieks of death! It’s close pursuit!

I for a moment snatched a glance behind,
And – Horror! Horror! Curse of all mankind! –
I saw the beast, its deadly wings outstretched;
Forever in my mind those eyes are etched!.

Such was my fear, my legs no longer ran –
I stumbled, and my fall to earth began;
I felt the claws across my shoulders rip,
A cracking in my skull, awareness slip…

I do not know what happened to me then –
But when I found sweet consciousness again,
I lay alone, in winter-morning breeze,
The dawning sun hung low beyond the trees!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

as it slumbers in the hallow tree,
you hear a hoot, you hear a cry
the barn owl is now free,
for midnight is nigh!.

they're all around both far and near,
the owls are everywhere
the little mice tremble with fear,
move only if you dare!.

its big round eyes, its haunting hoot,
it is now on the prowl
there is no sound the forest is mute
it is the barn owl



by the way if this is your way of asking someone to do your homework it seems to have worked!. to be honest i'll probably end up using this for school myself

Not too good, I wrote it in a minute or two, but oh well!.

The owl tries desperately to fly
It`s pain much worse than death
Longing for hope to fix it`s broken wings
So close to its very last breath
When, it wonders, will they come,
To save me from my fate!?
All it asks is a bit of wisdom
To save it from this state
The awkward moon reflects
In a black, lifeless eye
No one helped the owl
No one heard its last cryWww@QuestionHome@Com

Waiting for the right moment,
Waiting for the kill!.
A movement, a rustle
She waits a while still!.

A creak somewhere below,
Wings outstretched and body steady,
Soaring downwards at top speed,
The eyes watching, the claws ready!.

Razor-like talons grasp soft fur,
The wings take her high,
She has food for tonight,
Then off she glides into the infinite night sky!.

Hope you like it!
I worked on it for a while!!

Barn owls are like treacle on toast
They open hidden locks with their frosty-like nose
An owl might hover in the corner of your eye
Or salute you for being overpowered and tired
Remember to look and pray when you've trod
Or the owl might smack you, you ignorant sod!Www@QuestionHome@Com

The owl came to my side,
Under the siver moon,
High was the thunderous tide,
It almost made me swoon!.

The owl swooped down,
And gave me a note!.
It erased my frown,
I felt as if to float,

The note was from afar,
From my loved one!.!.!.
Suddenly I saw a star,
That shone as the sun!.

The owl reunited us,
Then retuened to his tree!.
Never putting up a fuss!.!.!.
He knows what will be!.!.!.will be!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Sinister Barn Owl

Sinister barn owl
I hear the haunting in your hooting
As you spy swiftly through the night
Perched stiffly in your tree
I saw your head turn 360
I know your trying to spook me
Sinister barn owl
Amorphous in the dark night
Visible only by moon lightWww@QuestionHome@Com

A little mouse in a field of corn
nibbling away in peace
A shadow flickers overhead
unnoticed

A little mouse held in bloody claws
scrabbling, screeching
The shadow is no more
unnoticedWww@QuestionHome@Com

Iam like an owl on the prowel with colin powellWww@QuestionHome@Com

The barn owls that frequent my garden
Are all polite and all say pardon
Never making any noise
They leave that to the starling boys!.

The mouse meanwhile, cannot be heard
Its says I'lll creep now, past this bird
But the owls you see has got good eyes
Guess what it's having, in it's pies!.

And now to roost as morning comes
All warm and cosy, sleep succumbs
To dream of yet another meal
One the starlings will not steal!.

Good night !Www@QuestionHome@Com

SCORPIOS ARE ONE OF THEIR OWN KIND

Scorpios of the whole wide world everyone knows, are

Capable leaders of war, politics, leadership and merit

Only the Scorpios deserve to inherit, the place of power,

Remove them from your sight and you will lose for sure,

Potential leaders from the world and at your cost too

Individual Scorpios are the ones so secure and strong

Oh my god your friend and boyfriend are Scorpios too!.


HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALL SCORPIOS TO YOU


From …………………………………………………!.

come on drift away
through fundamental boundaries
all is numb
when you fly so quietly

wings are spread wide open
the place you would never be
is the place i find you
to find our selves surrounded

the owl finds home
even being lost so long
his fate has been mistakenly chosen
he is thinking to much

just act like the owl
power from the wings
be the owl
sharpened talons for the kill

you can't change his attempt
hus attempt good intentions
to kill is to survive
true for the owl, true for man


here we go, hope its good!?!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Barn Owls! by Kirsty H

Barn! Oh Barn Owl!

Its sunny & hot, so get out your pot!.
Suck up the sun & have some fun
You'll get out of your barn for a day!
You're furry and white, but you dont give a fright!
