Death Foreshadowed

Flock
Of crows
Flapping wings
Darkened blue skies
Their loud raucous cries
Bring news of death
Deep sorrow
Be gone
Flee

Wow, this reminded me of the woman who was found dead in her yard after eight days here in Kentucky. Her neighbors didn't check on her until they saw buzzards flying overhead and perching on her chimney. Yes, be gone, birds! Fine ninette, Jenna.

They creep me out, Milt. How awful that she died and was left exposed for a week! Thanks for reading me so often.

well, thanks, Mala. I appreciate your thoughts, but there's no telling what a particular judge expects as good poetry.
