NaPoWriMo 2017, Day 7 -- a Senryū Pair, Art Inspired

 . ."Big Owl" by Kaoro Kawano,  Fair Use

 

Big Owl Sits 

 

Big owl sits by pool

On duty all day and night

Scaring birds away

 

Bird bath it's not

But when they catch him sleeping 

Time for hot tub bath

Kerry would like us to write our poem after 'grazing' through some of the artist, Kaoru Kawano, and write what might come to mind.  I am also gazing out the back window beside me and seeing the blackbirds using our hot tub as a bird bath. 

 

Supposedly we can place a sculptured owl near the birds will stay away.  Some say it work, some say not.  I found this owl print in his portfolio on the WikiArt Internet site ( https://www.wikiart.org/en/kaoru-kawano ).
