Summer Horizon

The crows rise up into the summer sky
Horizon's orange fills with dots of black          
The murder glides through air, alert and spry,
The crows rise up into the summer sky.              
They dip their wings in water, then they cry -        
The 'caws' resound beyond the sea and back
The crows rise up into the summer sky,         
Horizon's orange fills with dots of black.

You did very well with the form for your first time. I'm glad you got these two outstanding poets to help you with the meter, Sneha. If you had used periods in place of some of those commas, I would have given this a higher placement because this was just beautiful with its imagery! Congrats!
