Owl Poems by Robert W. Nero

In these days of multi-media, flash-dependent, streaming-video web sites; and blaring, over-stimulating content in traditional media; it's easy to forget where human communication began. Words are still important, poetry is still a simple delight. At least, I hope you will find the same delight as I have in reading the poems of famed Manitoba wildlife biologist, Robert W. Nero. They are presented here as they ought to be, as simple words on a quiet page. Enjoy.
