Hot Tub Company

Splashing in my hot tub alone
Cloudy skies made darkness blacker
Aches and pains were nearly gone
When suddenly, I heard a flutter.

Overhead, what’s flapping there?
It’s getting close, right through the fog!
I’m settled in for quite a scare
And by the way, where is my dog?

Neck craned back, I’m looking up and see
Open talons bared at me
A barn owl seeking out his sup’
Diving down from nearby tree.

I waved my arms up in the air
His wings they fluttered hard
He rose and I could only stare
In wonder I’d been left unscarred.

These poems, they always seem
To sneak a moral, evoke a groan
This one’s no exception, folks.
“Don’t go in the tub alone!"
















OurEcho is a FREE SERVICE dedicated to capturing and sharing the individual "bits and pieces" that define our local communities. It might be a bit of interesting local history, an old photograph, a special memory or just a funny story. We are particularly interested in those fascinating and intriguing events/people (both large and small) that we all encounter as part of the human experience. It might be something that happened recently or something passed down to you through your family. Our goal is to provide a forum for local communities to share who they are through their stories and photographs. When you take the time to share these reflection with others, you help us better understand you, the world we live in, and if we are lucky, they help us better understand ourselves.
