Outing the Owls
By briarcroft
12 October 2008
After a moonlit walk in my barnyard tonight...

Shadows
stretch long
under full moonlight~
paths streaked
in semigloss
glow.

Barnyard
lies silent,
evening calm spreads
loft to stall
in advancing
twilight.

Silhouette
branches move
against crisp sky
as wings
swish softly
searching.

Clicking
cadenced duet
calling for questioning
nocturnal overture
Who? and again
Who?

Answers
from treetops
barn roof rafters
echoing soliloquy
of the lost
Found

Really beautiful poem especially liked the description: 
 
"...evening calm spreads 
loft to stall 
in advancing 
twilight." 
 
Lovely stuff!
