Twit-twoo
They wait in the queue
To see a glimpse of you
Owl Woman
The Blue-Man is blue,
But can it be true
That you once flew
Owl Woman?
We’d escape, us two
But we’re stuck here, like glue
I’d fly with you
Owl Woman
Do they feed you mice stew?
I care not: I need you
Emerging saplings – love grew
My Owl Woman
Author notes
Well, another oldeyish. Umm, well it's John Hegley inspired you know? And err, well, it's about a boy who works in a carnival and he develops this obsession with this freak called the Owl Woman!
Haha!
It's also about society I think and how people get gawped at because they're different (like the pretty lady who lives in a caravan and catches my bus. I like her boots : ) ).
Tra-da! Sucks doesn't it!

Hello and thank you for entering my contest.
The rhyming is simple, perhaps even a bit forced throughout the poem, but surprisingly enough it has a rather rhythmic sound when I read it aloud.
The meaning you have in between the lines is also very powerful, and definitely true.
Thanks again for entering, best wishes and good luck.

By no means does this suck!
I think your theme of a stalker in love with an owl woman is much sweeter than my Tetris Block poem which is about stalking a crippled woman for the sake of humour. I think you ought to add something about the background of the characters in the poem rather than explaining afterwards, even if you only suggest it. I would quite like to meet this owl woman. Too bad she's taken
