Day 6 of NaplPoWriMo 2020 - The Owl at ...



Aristotle; I am the owl at the well
(Motivation Monday poem) 

Dr. Aristotle I am 
My PhD is from Oxford 
Superior intelligence 
What I am famous, noted for 

My brain won't hold all my knowledge 
Overload in my chest is stored 
Closest friends call me *Puffed Up" 
Plenty, enough is said on that 

You now, "What does this owl do?" 
We've water activity all 
around.  Enough, Clean, and Plenty 
Water fun, that is our business 

Our guests play, swim, eat and they rest 
Enough; never lacked for water 
Clean; it's drinking water for all 
Plenty: make sure where it's needed 

Big it needed ME.  Smart, Mensa 
And, ...owls scare other birds away

    2. A creative interpretation of the images. For all the puffed chest of educated feathers, the owl is needed more fear than diplomas.

    4. Oh, how I love Hieronymus Bosch! And the voice of your owl is just right for the image of the serious, weighty being observing the garden revels.

    5. Yes, we can all laugh but it is dangerous too, when you need a leader that can be trusted and do his best for his country. especially at times like these.
