Hi John
This haiku give a strong image of the owl in the artwork while it is hunting.
I would think some prey would know the owl is coming and that's why they run. I like the second line about the owl's talons.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Good luck in the contest.
Have a great day.
Joan
P S I just had a book published. It is called The Interloper (and other stories in prose and poetry) by Joan Pechter.

I think this was a great haiku for the contest. You got the syllable count right, and your subject matter was great. The picture was the perfect complement to the poem. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

These birds are keen hunters and I enjoyed your few words that confirm their command over their prey here, a fine Haiku for the contest, love Dolly x x x x
