I sure like this poem, Teresa. It uses a literary equivalent of chiaroscuro to describe a tableau of light and shadows --points of reference from solid roof to an owl the poet can't see but knows is there.
Thank you. It's always nice to hear them going back and forth, usually at dawn and dusk. I've had one visit me quite a bit this winter ... even spent time on my porch railing a few times. Sometimes for a couple of hours ... quite an experience to see one so close.
thought is provoked deep in the night

ReplyDeleteI'm so glad, Geo. I'm grateful for your thoughtful responses to my poems.
DeleteI love the imagery, both visual and written. I also love listening to the owls in the night as they discuss whatever it is they discuss.
