Notes About The Poem

Daisy Mae

Daisy Mae is walking by the scented jade meadow,
of warm butterscotch days and mulberry sundown,
And in the green trees, lingers a murder of crows,
Lying in wait for raven night, when luster abounds!

Vast skies are teal, and a whisper's on the breeze.
She is lost in the moment, as the sunshine pours,
And scarlet and purple birds sing in different keys,
As meadow and moor, thrum in vibrant discourse.

There’s almost a frightful pause in the center as a “murder of crows” lies in wait, yet Daisy Mae, surely a child, is unaware of dangers only taking in the sounds, colors, and life about her. Oh my goodness, this is a fave. I was certainly drawn to the title and then read this opulent poem, my friend!

Whoa! You have introduced me to a 'murder of crows.' Actually thought it was some kind of Freudian Slip before I looked it up. Thanks, Evelyn! ~ Undereducated

You're very welcome! I was only recently introduced to the term myself, which comes from old folk tales and superstitions. ~ Newly Educated :D
