As the Crow Flies

As The Crow Flies Staring past the curtain, At the vigilant crow upon the mast, The creature unaware of a presence, In a moment forever lost. Unflappable in its endeavour, A breather from its hunt, A distorted view of the world, Its cackle alerting its murder..... of its next tenacious stunt! Unperturbed by darkness, Its itinerary meticulous, movement, stealth like, As day gives way to darkness, A sky drifting magenta decline Copyright S Rose

This was immensely beautiful. Adding to my favorites! I particularly like the second stanza, the use of murder and the stark perseverance conveyed. Well done. Always, Laura

Oooooh! Me like this a lot - so Gothic and Poe-like! Scott, I enjoyed the flow and imagery of this piece which allowed me to soar on the dark wings of this crow! Excellent write! Pandita
