photo 'The Ferruginous Pygmy-Owl' from glwildlife
who 'oo who 'oo whoo
who will go from the village
to ancestors meet
if you know then why
why do you ask Jumbie bird
why your mocking hoot
to awaken dread
in the throes of purple skies
is that why you ask
your echoes follow
golden rings in charcoal night
forest stalkers sleep
yet your eyes alight
piercing the seams of dreamers
stitched to folklore's sight

your echoes follow

It seems the owl may have indication of death's likely happening. Nicely Gillena!

Une très belle photo pour illustrer ce joli texte !
Cath.
yes....some really interesting touches in this....they do haunt the dreams...stitched in our folklore...interesting what we have made of them...what we make of many things....but wise when we need them
This is, I think, a favorite of poems I have seen of yours, Gillena. I like the interplay between the 'who' and the 'why' flowing toward folklore at the end.
i like the connection to the ancestors, dreamers and folklore...lovely imagery..
Their eyes really are piercing, aren't they?
Very nice, Gillena!
