A Monster Owl
A
monster owl
out
on the fence
flew
away. What
is
it the sign
of?
The sign of
an
owl.
Easter
A robin
stood by my porch
and side-eyed
raised up
a worm
and side-eyed
raised up
a worm
Niedecker's condensing flirts with whimsy - the avoidance of development can be both strength and weakness. Still, A Monster Owl is an advisory to be placed at the head of any collection of animal poems. Easter is a very clever one-liner, so to speak.
