The Lonely Owl
By halina
17 November 2007



It is dark and lonely sitting here all alone
and there is not a soul to be seen
I really should be hunting for food right now
but I am noting feeling  so keen

I used to have a wonderful mummy you know
who loved me with all of her heart
but now that she has gone forever from this land
I have totally fallen apart

I hope one day I shall meet a new friend
just someone who can sit and talk to me
I would love to be happy and smiling once again
instead of crying on the branch of this old oak tree

You might think he is lonely Halina, but actually I know him and he has lots of friends. He comes to the tree by my window and if you listen you can hear a hoot (that's him) and a replied one syllabled squeak (that's his little lovely). So presumably he's a family man. ha ha. The rhythm of your poem is certainly much better than your earlier poems. Well done! Also the rhyme. It takes lots of practice. Nice to see you back on GW.
