The Great Owl

With iron beak and glinting talon
He slew and grew too large to fathom.

In chill of night he asks us who;
Rhetorical inquiry cuts us through.

A rousing fear will sweep the floor
Of the forest steeped in ancient lore.

The Great Owl haunts and stalks the small, 
Who shiver when they hear his call.
