Premium Member A lone caw after long
The caw of the crow, Once harsh and loud Filled the skies when they Gathered in a crowd. For fifty years Their voices not heard Untill one lone caw Returned out of the blue. It's sounds once grating, Now sweet and dear, A melody of memories I hold dear. He flew away cawing then I pondered, "Where he lives, from where he came."...

Caw
I hear your call; I call you back On raven wings we soar as one – We fly midnight between the suns The gift of madness on our tongues From perches steeple high we rise And take our protest to the sky And to the evening, as we dive; We surface and our tears are dry – With flaming wings that torch the...

What do these crows say? Certainly, they’re not wasting their voice. Perched on the branches of the bay tree, they don’t fly in the sizzling sunlight. Long, short, swift, slow, vibrant, weak…Variations in the length and the size of their cry affirm their cawing is not meaningless. How can they be close-mouthed about the things...

The crows came out and sat on the raven’s ramrod necks Wily witches were watching and laughing at the feathery flecks. Wild wooly warlocks came out and joined the throng. They were all ready to sing the annual Halloween song. Hee Hee Hee Ha Ha Caw Caw Dibbly Dibbery Dawdy Daw Daw Let’s be spookier than ever this Halloween night Let’s join...

It whispers that you were once here.. it must have been grand in its day keeping things in and others at bay- Giving you a sense of{false} security a boundary never to be breeched a sense of permanence and importance a cold-crooked line echoing the decades- I see you flitting amidst the spaces between the brush and battered stone Isn't it dreadful to traipse...

Premium Member Black Caw Crow
Black caw crow flies overhead black caw crow cries sounds of dread small birds shiver in covert trees mice skitter, scatter and flee. Watercolor skies abound mournful clouds cling to the ground critters hide ‘neath fans of leaves silent refuge from the siege. Lazy slugs and snails alight peaking black crow’s appetite swooping down without a sound black crow strikes as raindrops...

Caw Caw Caucus
Outside convenes a caucus of noisy crows, through my window I observe their convention, an impressive display but no one really knows their chaotic cacophonic intention. Landing on the lawn, and taking to the trees Seemingly argumentative and yelling. A skitterry squirrel takes note and flees, taking refuge in his knothole dwelling. The clamorous cawing is strangely staccato, Shattering the prior, peaceful...
