Jeff Connelly Poet I do not know?

Hitchcock

on my ride home 
from work i
witnessed
a crime
for sure
ly so
many
crows
were

flocking to
the city to
protest 
what 
was
to
be
a

banging
of bells and a
whistling of whistles
to keep them from roosting 
and pooping on people though
a stupid solution hatched to keep
them from coming but now in numbers

they refuse to
be hassled or
rousted by the
man and his
unfortunate
understand

ingly less
then real
ity but
morbid
ity of

the word
human
kind
in no

way
to say
they are

kind but in their mind for now
they have consecrated these

crows to become a murder

Jennifer Proxenos November 20, 2019 at 4:07 AM A Murder of crow, a formidable sight. Revengeful and their intelligence enables them to hand over this revenge as far down as their grandchildren - an incredible write Jeff. Well penned Jeff. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer. Jeff Connelly November 20, 2019 at 7:48 AM Thank you Jennifer. I knew of their intelligence and antics, but not how they passed these down. Really interesting. Thanks.

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart November 19, 2019 at 7:23 PM An out loud squeal of zeal. Love this. xomo Jeff Connelly November 20, 2019 at 7:46 AM The city used to boast about having a nesting pair of peregrine falcon that I'm sure we're there for the pigeons. But even they have moved on over the years. Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart November 19, 2019 at 10:09 PM The only method I've heard of working is using a falcon: the falconer releases the captured crow, the crow tells the others and they simply cannot wrap their heads around the humans and falcons working together and they move on. Jeff Connelly November 19, 2019 at 9:54 PM We are going to the city tomorrow night for dinner, and I found out just today at work that starting soon, the city decided to start ring bells a blowing horns and whistles between 5 and 9pm to keep the crows away!!! Jeff Connelly November 19, 2019 at 9:52 PM I thought of you Maureen when I saw the massive more than several hundred crows flying as I was coming home tonight. I wanted to just tell you, so instead wrote this poem.
