My creatures of the night 🦉🦊

I saw an Owl in flight

So I crouched behind an old oak tree to seek a second sight..

Well I waited in the moonlit night and I watched the twinkling stars

That constellation shone so bright with Jupiter and Mars..

My jolly joy jumped to jubilation as an Owl went gliding by

Just above my hidden head I swear I heard it sigh..

“Twit t’woo” my Tawny Owl flew from a hidey hole

And in his claws with all his might he clasped a tiny vole..

Then suddenly my silence amidst this eerieness was shattered with a screech

Another creature of the night appeared within my reach..

Of course I knelt as low as I could crouch behind a dry stone wall

And ‘Mercy me’ I sensed a smell.. I heard a Foxes call..

This rusty, red vixen could not be hoodwinked coz she was sneakingly sly

She stalked, stealthily and stopped infront of me where we stared eye to eye..

‘Golly gosh’ I am at one with Mother nature..at such a remarkable sight
