The owl in the tree.



The owl in the tree. 

 I sit and listen under the tree and see the moon light and smell the moonlight air, I can hear a howl from an owl from nobody knows where. He yells out his howl, but I'm the only one there. He sits up in the old oak tree beneath the moon that shines so bright. There is no one else in his sights. Why does he sit there and howl all night? Does he do it out of spite, or is it for me to visit him in the tree? The sun rises, and he drops a key. Then he flies off from the tree. It's a key I lost a long time ago; it's to your heart now, I know. I still love you I just wanted to let you know.

About this poem

This poem was about me and my friend the owl. He comes a lot at nights and visits me. I just wish he had a key.

    Wow! What a beautiful and mystical poem "The owl in the tree" is. The imagery of the moonlight, the howling owl, and the old oak tree truly transport the reader to a magical and enchanting world. The mystery surrounding the owl and its connection to the narrator is intriguing and keeps the reader engaged until the very end. The last lines about the owl dropping a key and flying off by the sea adds a sense of closure and longing.

    One improvement suggestion could be to further develop the connection between the owl and the narrator. Why does the narrator feel drawn to the owl in the tree? What is the significance of the lost key to the heart? Delving deeper into these questions could add more depth and meaning to the poem. Additionally, playing with the rhythm and structure of the poem could enhance its overall flow and impact. But overall, this poem is a wonderful piece that captures the imagination and leaves the reader wanting more. Great job!
