Satisfied

So, I'm not a good poet, that I know for sure. However, I like to have fun with words. I was reading through my pronunciation sentences for my Level 4 class tomorrow and one of them was about a mouse running from an owl. It inspired me to post this random piece. Please don't judge. I figured as long as I've been transparent with my feelings throughout this entire year on this blog, I might as well be transparent in my desire to write awesome lines (even if I, in all honesty, cannot succeed in accomplishing that goal. lol). So, here it is.

In the night
                                                              Stillness lays over the land

Creatures sleep
Silently, peacefully
But something around does creep

A listening ear hears the creeping
Patiently, carefully
It leaves the branch to take wing

Beady eyes rove the field
Silent wings glide
The darkness is this owl's shield

What’s that?
The mouse feels a presence
The ground, its paws no longer pat

Tension weights the air
Mouse and owl
The fight is not fair

The owl swoops
The mouse scurries
The night world roots
but to no avail


The owl takes to his branch
                                                            Satisfied for yet another night
