An owl disguised as a crow,
Barged in at day light,
Soliciting superfluous questions,
Crafting pointless propositions!
It wanted to seize a trade,
Forgetting dark was its arena.
It wanted to rule the light,
As a self declared king!
Where poise flew excess,
Uneven mind lost its conviction,
Even its fart smelled perfume,
Loyalty had left the room.
Fellow owls had a meeting that night,
No one could track its fate.
For it was not seen by any,
That day was end of its many!
Tagging for the daily post prompt: Uneven
Well done.Like it a lot

That owl was destined to meet the light
It had to follow it’s own fate

I like the slightly dark touch you lent to the poem here 🙂 The owl should understand… It is because of dark that light is so precious. He rules the kingmaker 😀

Really loved the poem, very fun read yet simultaneously intriguing. Would I be correct in interpreting this as a satire piece?
