Genus Corvus

Passerine in black
Jousting for mid air order
Murder in the skies

I keep returning to read this haiku, James. A perfect depiction of the combat/struggle between birds, as inspired from the photograph displayed for the contest. Congratulations on your win in the contest. I appreciate your talent.

James, I just now went to my dictionary to understand your first word. Cool choice. I had never heard of it before. I was afraid to use a particular word becuase I did not know what kind of birds they were. haha. LUv, andrea
