an owl on brown bark
its eyes black zeroes
its face a white heart
it gathers the light
of the stars
if you
are a mouse
it is thinking
of you
From a painting by wildlife artist Jeremy Paul
Proximity: the poet Jackson. Get uncomfortably close.

this is awesome – i enjoy reading poems by children and viewing their art work because they do not conform to “the rules” and are far more creative, innovative and clever … fresh thinking, exciting, zingy … may i repost on my blog? tashadams.com
Thanks Tash. This was actually written by me, but I was among children at the time 🙂 Yes you can repost. No need to ask permission! https://thepoetjackson.com/licensing/
