Neighborhood Owl
The owl is a mysterious fellow,
He sits quietly in the tree so ironically mellow,
Waiting to pounce on some unsuspecting prey,
I think he would sit there literally all day,
He came to the neighborhood and took up residence,
Now everyone enjoys his awe-inducing presence,
He shows up each evening, just before dark,
He doesn’t move a muscle when the dogs start to bark,
His stature is regal, bulky and brawny is he,
As he sits in the low branches of the oak tree,
His head will turn gently almost completely around,
But he doesn’t scare easily I have found,
I was able to drive up closely to him in my car,
And capture his photo which seems quite bizarre,
He seems to be comfortable in our neighborhood,
We welcome him kindly as good neighbors should.
