If I were a Ruru

 If I were a Ruru

If I were a Ruru,

I would live in dark, quiet forests with rivers and ponds.

I would sore through the dark night sky,

flying silently looking down for my prey.

I would build my nest in dark 

holes in old trees, 

I would peck at the soft

grass on the ground picking sticks and bits for my nest,

When the nest is done I do my call at night until 

the sun peeks up.
