Wisdom, hides beneath the snowy eyelids;
Sitting high in his branched throne observing all;
This majestic creature of the night, emits his
call of "twitt -twoo", as night clouds
gather to mask the moon; The stillness
silent, in the wood; As night folk scuttle
underground ,ever wary of the
piercing watchfulness, of the
wise old owl..........

beautiful is the northern white and this is a young one, very elegant in his beautifully savage and predatory splendor and you have a stout and smart inner ryhme at 'wood' to go with the sound of his call in the lines above ... nice
