Gray Owl-Benjamin Moore-2137-60



By: Kun Hee Yeo


Cold, frigid, and frozen

He sits on the field of

Clear, milky white snow

Bare-foot,

Basic clothes,

Broken down.

Above where he sat,

Was a luminous streetlight

Eating up the darkness

His hopes were

As fragile as a candle light

In the open storm.


He sets up

A rusty tin can,

His only hope.

Revealing

Three shiny copper pennies

His hair

Was turning white

By the settling snowflakes


A man

Stroll pass

The snowy field

As if the boy wasn’t there

Showing no sign of pity.


Only

The Great Grey Owl

Sitting on the pine tree

Looks at the boy

With its

Wide eyes


As the freezing winter

Wears upon him

And puts the boy

Into a deep sleep

Never to wake up

But to reach

The world

Above the sky.

Great poem, I really liked how you used the owl as a symbol of death and described the appearance of the boy with alliteration.
