An owl is wise,
An owl hoots;
An owl hides
in dark woods.
.
An owl is cute,
An owl is against those who pollute;
Respect an owl,
The way you do to yourself NOW.

My Dearest Jingle...first of all great poem about the owl...I have seen one of them back in February 1981 a very huge white snow owl that I got inspired about a year ago and put this poem on my blogsite but it is here for you to enjoy...Happy Sunday as well(+)

The Spirit of the White Owl sits on the tree*
Cometh down from the Northern states
It is too cold up there as she crosses the straits
Blowing, blustering and freezing ice
A little warmer south will make it comforting and nice
Fly with open wings that stretch so far and wide
Two swoops from Canada to New York as her wings take stride
Ah, it is Now time to rest and let things be
To say Hoo-Hoo is the Spirit of the White Owl that sits on the tree

Can an owl squint? Good one Jingle
A friend of mine was able to participate in tagging owls to be monitored. They really are beautiful! Enjoyed this.
And thanks for your lovely comment on my blog. It's great to be writing again. :)
the Golden Rule is a good one!
That was cool...in 160 words!!!! and you did it!!!! :)
I love the way you can be humorous and still get a little message across. If I saw your poem and it didn't have your name on it, Ji, I would still know it as yours.
Good fun. Thank you!
You said a lot in 160 characters. Good writing.
wise words!
and that owl is gorgeous!
Owls are beautiful creatures that come in all sizes. Thanks for being a part of the Sunday 160 again. I've missed you.
I love owls! So wise, so calm, so observant. That picture makes me think that if my cat suddenly grew feathers instead of fur, that's what she would look like - such a piercing, thoughtful gaze.
I recently read an article that said the owl population in India was under threat because people were catching them and giving them to their kids as Harry Potter owls. That made me so mad and sad. - G
I once watched an owl for hours in my neighbour's garden till I realised it was just a polythene bag caught in a tree...!
But I do love our wisely turn-heads!
this pic is amazing..and i agree - we should respect not only the owls but all other animals as well
I love white owls. they look so gorgeous :D nice write
Lovely short poem, Jingle.
UK residents can "adopt an owl" here
My adopted owl is a barn owl called "Cobweb." Let's hear it for Britain's owls!
So classically beautiful..the mystery of the owl..and you did this so well!
I miss the owls we used to hear at our last house- Fun one!
An owl is wide-eyed at night!
