the owl
By Owen M
Published 17 September 2015
from a faraway land
a owl made out of paper mache
bought by travellers and taken to Australia.
on his belly are two golden stripes that shimmer
like the scales of a fish.
His eyes are wide
like the ocean and see all.
And his claws are sharp
like a thorn
ready to attack anything that trespassers
on his owners land.
He is what i am scared of
yet he is also who i trust.
