Owl of Victory
what does an owl symbolizes?
Magic, darkness
or is it Victory?
Owl will howl
Let's do this guys!
We've got this!
Owl will hail
Sleep tight tonight
Tomorrow we'll fight
Owl will hoot
Eat healthy and stay put
Move and write it out
It is the Owl of Victory
Face her fury and might
Defeat you're a mockery
Because it is the
Owl of Victory!
Owl of Victory
-
It was a face that came in the night,
Something that seemed to be out of dreams of old.
A face of feather and knowledge, behind such eyesight,
A whisper of the wing as it would fold.
It was there a moment, and then gone again,
A rustle of feather disappearing into a whisper of the wind.
What did it mean, and to what remain
Did it point the way? The memories of it nearly chill the skin,
And yet, that face isnât just a thing of the past,
Those nightmares and dreams of childhood that disappear into the murk and dust
Of human memory; it was as if a die had been cast
In aâŠ
28. Owl of Victory
Night owl
Wise owl
What do you say?
Night owl
Wise owl
Same every day
White owl
Snowy owl
December or May
White owl
Snowy owl
Eye on your prey
Night owl
Grey Owl
Up in the tree
Fight owl
Win owl
Your food victory.

Owl of Victory
O.W.L. â Out With Losing
A new Little League team motto
After a dismal last season, this year weâre cruising
National finals â we feel as if we won the lotto
Bottom of the ninth
Bases loaded
Weâre behind
We need this run â expectations overloaded
Iâm up to bat
Stare down the pitch
I swing and hear the crack
Thought the ball might split a stitch
The ball soars
The bases rounded
The crowd roars
Victory is sounded
The underdogs came through
Once we had started we couldnât stop
Our prize â awarded to the crew
A trophy with an owl perched atop
