What a great photograph of this owl and his catch. And well done with your 5-7-5 poem. I remember how loud crickets can be.

Hello Michelle,
You've have excellent imagery in this 5-7-5 poem for the contest.
I like the green font, perhaps representing the many crickets out there.
The crickets aren't seen by human eyes, but the owl's night vision reveals them all.
I imagine the owl wakes to the chirping sound of the crickets, and zeros in on its prey every night.
Well done.
Best wishes and good luck in the contest.
Robert

Comment from jake cosmos aller
nicely done poem about the owl's cries at night. here in korea you do hear the owl in the countryside, in the cities not so much. You also hear the mocking birds, and roosters crowing in farming villages.

Comment from GWHARGIS
I loved how this was so complex and yet told a complete story. The crickets chirping like a clock ticks. The night owl, which could be a bird or a human suddenly awake when the rest of the world sleeps. Love the dark feel as in the security of nightfall. Great job. Good luck in the contest. Gretchen

Hi Shelley... This is a lovely verse that shares your understanding of Nature and all things beautiful. The use of the haiku-like wording really enhances this poem and gives it a serene quality. Very nice and. I enjoyed reading it.

Comment from Mario PIERRE
I like the originality of this poem. It establishes an atmosphere where our imagination is free to wander and create the beauty of the night in our head. I also find the 'alarm clock notion brilliant. Maybe I would have changed the 'and' to 'but', thus creating a contrast. It's only my two-cents

i actually thought about using 'but' instead of 'and'
however, it's meant to be a reverse play on the "children should be seen and not heard"...
maybe i'll rethink it... though i want to wait until the certificate runs out lol
thank you mario!! 🤔😊👍💓🖋️🦄
Comment from Mrs. KT
Good morning, Shelley!
So perceptive - filled with keen and palatable imagery as I sit in the coziness of our home, observing the comings and goings of our resident Barred owl.
Have penned a number of offerings about this magnificent creature = always something new to learn.
A well-crafted 5/7/5!
Best Wishes!
