Wise Owl,
I’m mystified
About why you’re thought wise.
Is it your hunting skills, or just
Big eyes?
It seems
That when it comes
To communication,
Vocabulary isn’t your
Strong point.
“Who, Who”?
I mean — Get real —
Those words show ignorance.
Yet men believe wisdom resides
In you?
Ah well,
Still mystified,
I will concede I like
To hear you “sing” while others sleep —
At night.
Also posted for Daily Post Prompt: Leaf. Since my owl is sitting in a tree with leaves, I figure this little bit of cinquain fits the prompt.

I love it! So funny.
Thank you, Colline. Just a bit of whimsy to try to brighten my day.
I wish I’d written that!
🙂 I’ve said that about a few things in my life too.
Umm, I don’t know why they’re considered wise, the Roman goddess Minerva is associated with owls as well. Clever cinquain you wise woman!
Thank you, Gilly.
