October's Nibblefest Theme: Owls!
"I should be dumb before thee, feathered sage!"
~Henry Timrod, To a Captive Owl
Art by Diane Ursin |
The start of our next round of Nibblefest begins on Saturday, October 20th!
This month's theme is...
~ OWLS ~
Art by Tammy Gulat |
"...the owl devours the hour and disregards the rest."
~Wendy Videlock, The Owl
Art by Monique Morin Matson |
"Owl are you an armature vector
And a large step for mankind?
Owl astronaut burgeoning owl is a gift
You give to me give to you"
~David Shapiro, An Owl (in Memory of Gil)
Art by Vicky Knowles |
"Twice through my bedroom window
I've seen the horned owl drop from the oaks to panic
the rabbit in my neighbor's backyard."
~David Bottoms, An Owl
Art by Christine E. S. Code |
"His head a swivel of round glances,
his eyes a deeper yellow than the winter sun..."
~Duane Niatum, Snowy Owl Near Ocean Shores
Art by Karen Vesk |
"What happened, so long ago
The very trees have forgotten?
In darkness, in loneliness,
Searching like an old man
Among old manuscripts,
Something you wish to know
Eludes you, and you ask
A question no one answers, for none can."
~Louise Driscoll, The Owl
Art by Eliza Sol |
"While suns and moons of mood arise and wane,
Patience, the owl, considers wisdom now."
~Edward Davison, The Owl
Art by Tammy Gulat |
"The owl could tell more, if he wanted,
But he won't. And not only that,
He's decided he will never be seen."
~Matthew Sweeney, The Owl
Art by Donna Bickley |
"His velvet wing sweeps through the night:
With magic of his wondrous sight
He oversees his vast domain,
and king supreme of night doth reign."
~Elizabeth Sears Bates, What Sees the Owl
Art by Monique Morin Matson |
"He sits on a limb
By night and by day,
And an eager assembly waits on him
To listen to what the wise bird may say."
~Anonymous, The Oracular Owl
Art by Penny Stewart |
"Sweet Suffolk owl, so trimly dight
With feathers, like a lady bright;
Thou sing'st alone, sitting by night,
'Te whit! Te whoo!'
~Thomas Vauter, Sweet Suffolk Owl
Art by Robin Jayne |
"The silent owl swoops,
Silhouette on silver moon,
Prey unsuspecting."
~Maria Williams, The Silent Owl
Art by Sue Perez |
