Vanessa The Owl

Down where the creek lay, water lilies bloom
Look up and you will find a tree, you’ll see an owl sitting on a broom
The owl is smart, intelligent it is
Its name is Vanessa, her true talent is killing any quiz
Its feathers glimmer but it is not gold
And all that is left indeed is not at all old
She is a plain owl but has an endless love deep inside
For those who are in need, she shows them truelove
We now know that the outside of this bird
Is not at all the same as the inside for the inside is not blurred
For Vanessa knows that those who are violent, they will end up in a violent end.
