Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Stanley - LP Zoo

Stanley, the snowy owl, alone.

His long time mate, Freya, is gone.

The once shared home now all his own,

But for Stanley life does go on.

He has his daily job to do,

Greeting visitors that come by,

Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo,

Looking at this white feathered guy.

When the snows come, Stanley will be

Outside and doing his job still,

Harder for visitors to see,

But persistent visitors will.

Whatever weather's in effect,

Come visit Stanley and connect.
