Best Snowy Owl Poems

In my white feathered coat, I look divine.
I hunt at night, but also in bright day.
My bold rounded eyes as gold amber shine.
Dawn guilds my broad wing span flying away.
Soaring silent I clear steep mountain's crest,
Then swoop with precision to snatch my prey.
My talons cling...

In majestic beauty I stand alone
My lifetime mate included
Together on land we build our home
Preferably secluded
My five foot wingspan is solid white
Hunting is done in the light
Fish, rabbits, rodents and birds are nice
Lemmings are a daily delight
With yellow eyes and beard of black
I rule my...

I live on the frozen tundra where cold winds blow
I'm never bothered by the amount of ice and snow
The thickness of my feathers are deep at my chest
like a downy insulated coat that's better than a vest.

I'm busy keeping watch over my two mated hens

When the sun sets in the western sky

And night descends upon the land

The snowy owl awakes from his rest

And in the forest seeks a dinner guest

This nocturnal hunter sits and waits

 With one graceful swoop from it's branch

Appears like a white ghost

Swiftly and silently gets...

The owl gazed upon the forest
As though the whole world was his fortress.

As day turns to night she's awaken
hunter, food provider for her brood,
Stretch, flap wings, feathers shaken,
pitch black, one thing on her mind
nocturnal rodents high protein food,
with stealth she flies, silent, streamlined,
eyes clear, professional killer,  all fears
especially mice, vole, one way blood feud,
when our snowy...

Snowy Owl, your feathers so white
I have always wanted to see you
I hear other kinds, hooting in the night
A pleasure it would be to see you too

I suppose one snowy winter
You will fly so quietly here to visit me
After the summer flowers wither
You will arrive...

On the poll snowy owl stands tall and is in full control
Her prismatic eyes are beyond beautiful something to extol
Yet they don’t do justice to her soul
She glides through the air silently soaring off the poll

As she sails through the air mimicking snow 
Sometimes flying...

snowy owl
hoots at northern sky
crystal dew falling

a vole sleeps
deep in frozen ground
earthen dreams

heaven of stars
on celestial journey
night lights

wolf howls
at the snow moon
brief serenade

dreams fade
into morning sunrise
scent of fresh brew

I'm a strong flying solitary hunter; living up to
      fifteen years in the wild and almost twice that
     in captivity. I'm one of the world's largest owls.
 I rule the night, hunting in the bitterly cold,...

White bright
Yellow eye
Snowy owl
Tumbling in 
The Arctic wind
Stiff claws 
Clamping down,
Through the 
Seagull's heart, again...

a snowy owl nests
deeply hidden in pine boughs
yellow eyes glowing
