Crows
one day
whirled off my feet
next day
toes set
in concrete
a single black feather
floats down from the sky
meaning?
a bone to a dog
sun-flower seeds
strewn before squirrels
red and grey
the occasional chipmunk
only crows
black-winged marauders
monarchs destined to wear
a weighty crown,
cry out their anguish
mobbing the hawk
longing for the day
when they’ll rule again
I love crows. It was with pleasure I greeted this lovely poem that captured some of the elements of their personalities. Cheers, Chuck

Thanks, Chuck. There they are: right outside the back door. Aerial magicians come to back to earth. We have seven over the roof very morning, summer and winter, at sun up. Wonderful.
