Barred Owl



Who wakes me from my dreams?
“Who cooks for you?”
Who’s sounds are those?
“Who cooks for you?” she asks again.

How quietly the night waits.
“Who cooks for you?”
Waiting for his reply.

“Who cooks for you?”
Like a ghost through the trees.
“Who cooks for you?”
Elusive to all who seek her.

“Who cooks for you?”
 “Who cooks for you?”
Twice more she screams.
“Who cooks for you, all?” he barks.




NaPoWriMo challenge: to write a poem using five words from a list of words.
I used: owl, twice, elusive, ghost  (I guess I can't count.)
