Trying out some vocabulary..Objurgatory _to chide or scold_Obdurate_stubborn, persistent..

Objurgatory crow lookout
Cawing to obdurate friends
Telling them to flee fall garden
Opossum grins by Persimmon
Because berries gone as are figs
Every animal has eaten fill
Ready now for winter's rest

Excitedly written for:
"Fall Is Around The Corner"

Sara, your poem is unique in the way it describes the way animals cope with the disappearance of food sources. LOVE the line about the opossum grinning by the persimmon. One of the best I've seen, dear. Congratulations on your win in Carol's contest! Love, Carolyn

I noticed your crows have a higher voice in LA, where i saw em under the pink sky there in 1990. Shades of Liberache:) Ours have a harsher arkkkk sound. Great poem babe !
