"Reader, you're an owl/ for this moment, your flower-face a white scrawl/ in the dark, a feather frill."

from Jo Shapcott's new poetry collection
I'm not sure about the direct address to the reader in these lines quoted in the Guardian, but I love "white scrawl" and "feather frill":
"Reader, you're an owl/ for this moment, your flower-face a white scrawl/ in the dark, a feather frill."
