Â
I am not a symphony
My brain is complete cacophony.
Don’t come into my head
If you know what’s good for you.
You’ll wind up both deaf and mad.
Â
I could be a figurine
As long as the figurine you mean
Is the Venus of Willendorf.
She’s only 4.4 inches tall,
But just like Rosie, she’s got it all.
Â
I am not a ballet.
If I even tried to play
At spinning pretty pirouettes
I’d wind up face-down on the floor;
Trust me, you don’t want to see more.
Â
I am not a sonnet
About an Easter bonnet.
I could be a country song
About a love that’s gone all wrong.
That’s what romance has been for me.
Â
I’m not what anyone wants me to be,
But I must accept being just me
Before the sun goes down on my life
And it’s too late for affirmation
Of the fine qualities I possessed.

Ornery Owl is a wise old bird who seeks the truth behind the lies. She uses
her observations to heal the wounded soul. In essence, she is the spirit of an
odd little bird whose wings were clipped at a young age. She is at once a
whimsical manifestation of poetic expression and a fierce protector of those
targeted for derision by an angry and unsympathetic world. Depending on how
you perceive her, she can be either a goddamned delight or your worst
nightmare.
