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

You have captured his voice so well, Jim......an interesting interpretation of the artwork. Thanks for writing to my prompt.
ReplyDeleteA creative interpretation of the images. For all the puffed chest of educated feathers, the owl is needed more fear than diplomas.

ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this one, Jim! A brilliant response to the prompt 💘
ReplyDeleteOh, 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.
ReplyDeleteYes, 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.
ReplyDeleteAmazing way to combine the prompts. I enjoyed this poem :)
ReplyDeleteAn intriguing perspective on owls.
