The Guardian of the Night

This poem was inspired by my own artwork of a snowy owl.

She watches from her mighty perch,
as the world below moves unknowingly.
She knows she will only lurch,
if something or someone attacks knowingly.

Her vibrant eyes and feathers,
shine brightly in the moonlight.
It doesn't matter what weathers,
she still stands guard throughout the night.

She can see everything down below,
as her neck turns side to side.
Even is something moves slow,
she can witness what tries to hide.

When the night turns into dawn,
and the bright sun starts to rise.
She will finally retire with a yawn,
as the sunlight meets her eyes.

I really liked the line “she still stands guard throughout the night”... It beautifully shows her strength and silent dedication. Also, “she can witness what tries to hide” stood out to me because it paints her as all-seeing and wise, almost like a quiet guardian of the dark. The poem as a whole has a calm, watchful tone that I really enjoyed.

I liked the way this poem flows .....she watches from her mighty perch......vibrant eyes and feathers....

Mother nature at her finest,,,,,

When night turns to dawn.....she will finally retire with a yawn...

I like the combination of nature and life here....an owl is a wise creature ....maybe as humans we can learn something from them...:)

Feel free to stop by and check out one of my poems....
