Notes About The Poem

A Crow

I'm a Crow,
a symbol of death,
a very smart bird.
The smartest
of them all!
I'm jet-black in color
Black and beautiful!
I'm really cool, too
I know you don't agree,
but whatever
I can't sing 
as beautifully 
as other songbirds
Yes, I'm aware
my loud cawing sounds 
like nails on a chalkboard 
to you 
Guess what, though?
I just don't care 
I know you don't like me
and I don't like you either!
So please, 
excuse me
while I fly away 
from you!....

"Caw! Caw! Caw!
