Ravens

tumbling overhead 
 dark cloud’s wing beats thundering ~

             hoodlums on a roll

That last line is fantastic! Hoodlums is a word not used enough these days.

They literally probably are a gang of delinquent teenagers, often not breeding till they are 4 or 5 years old. ;),

Thank you Gershon! I owed them a poem. Five young ravens playing rolling flew right over my head maybe 20ft up between two 3 story walk ups amplifying the sound of their wings, GLORIOUSNESS. Sounded like StarWars laser dogfight! xomo
