winterowl
ragged trails of twisted riot
October leaves are fall'n
a colored palette of unrest
and shameless trees undressed
tonight the moon flies full
powder white at dusk
so ivory iced this e'en
and who else embraced its sheen?
and now that hermit moon
obscured by waffling clouds
who else observed this ruse
or knew 'twas just obtuse
winter nights are bleak and cold
the silver song of ice
this night made up of frozen tears
of lovers lost among the years
and in the thick branched oak
inside his lair above
the winter owl hoots from up above
and awaits his winter love
