Friend Crow

Why do you still flee from me, friend Crow? I can clearly see you, don’t you know? High up in my tree, your black wings show! Fly down here to me; don’t give me woe. Sigh. You must stay free.

Crows are known to be very intelligent creatures. They remember who treats them badly for years. It is a proven fact. A lovely entry for the contest my friend. xxoo

Andrea, you chose a deeply symbolic bird to write of. I am picturing Van Gogh's last painting before he died, depicting crows and storm clouds over a corn field, a painting often connected with his final suicidal despair. Well done with your carefully placed triple rhymes; a winner to me ~ John

wow, and I did not even know I was foreshadowing death, but it sure makes sense in light of what is going on this year!
