Poem

What is it with crows...
their reputation
before them goes
An omen of death 
A murder of crows
These ancient legends
who really knows 
if they are truths or untruths
                  
Spirit birds
so I have heard 
Keep a watchful eye 
Ensuring your safety
As you live your life
Often said to be sent
by a loved one
passing to the other side 

But which fate is mine
I haven’t a clue 
A tad unsettling
Not sure what to do
For this crow now perched 
Up on my roof 
Is rather disconcerting
My head is now hurting  
A majestic bird 
Head to tail he is dressed
in funereal black
Caw cawing so loudly
Stood tall and proudly

Does his presence 
predict my impending doom
Are we leaving this world 
him and I very soon

Today he arrives on my balcony
He is perched very close to my door
Staring and still 
Looking straight at me
Mesmerising or menacing 
Well I'm not entirely sure 
Now I begin to panic
Having felt unwell a while
What does he want to tell me 
What’s he trying to purvey
If only he could talk to me
If only he would say

Is this it 
Is this my day 
My time to go
Does he really know
This wise old crow
I wish he would go
But just in case 
I will live this day 
As if it's my last

    ‘cos one day it surely will be…

Written 1st July 2020 as I keep a close eye on that crow...
