Freedom's Crow

Board fence entraps three Angus cows who would much rather go out and about to their content than hear from freedom's crow. Corralled within their space so small constrained by pride-filled squawk no grass of green, no grounds to graze so here they gaze and gawk. "Of what does SHE have to complain?" crow hears a lowly moo. Indignant cry spurs raven queen to do what she can do. She picks the pin which holds them in, gives them the needed boost. So free they run until the sun invites them home to roost. Queen Raven waiting on her pole views "thank yous" on each face. And when the cows have passed the gate, she puts the pin in place. March 3, 2012 I chose GIF #5 common meter (abcb) with personification

I thank you William, for the placement on my personification piece. Written in 2012, edited very little in the years to follow, Freedom's Crow finally flies to freedom herself. Be safe, Be careful, Believe.
