A fleet 
of clover feet.
The puddle grunts.
Crouched atop
leafy beds,
groovy eyes 
dance.
Croaks and caws,
a symphony.
A quartet 
in the woods.

From the cemetery no specters arose
Why the teens then took flight, they did not disclose
What had incurred
Not seen, but heard
Discovered, because of the caws of the crows!...

after violence
what we had was reliance
on total silence

down hall would waddle
upset and went full throttle
all about bottle

when in time we froze
suggest and everyone knows
caws would come from  crows...

tweets and peeps and caws echo

song bird orchestra

 

such spring time magic

a delightful lullaby

pure love for season

warming our ponds and meadows

Morning glory bud
Begins to unfurl. 
An Eagle flies high 
In the morning sky. 
Aspen leaves rustle,

Stirred by the wind. 
Hope floats above 
Feeling refreshed,
Joy swirls within. 

Rooster crows,
Raven caws, 
Risers yawn

Coffee 
Bacon.  

Eggs.

Listen to poem:

The Raven

Blast that raven raps at my chamber door,
Tags truth betold of my lovely Lenore,
Madame, for that she is naught,
Soft Missy girl, I be got,
Caws my pedophile claws forevermore.

Dusk seeps lapis
The horizon looms in blood and coral
Crows emerge from peacock plumes
shrieking caws of darkness
wings flap their incessant onyx
Talon wounds of starlight 
multiply and meld
into the coming day
the cover of night perforated
into salmon blooms and cornflowers

cornfield with crows
late autumn snows
without a pause
hear Christian caws

their ochre beaks
black feathered peaks
hearing the squall
speaking of Paul

goodness is good
do what you should
without a pause
like Santa Claus

ravens there too
coming for you
tiresome bore
quoth Nevermore...

wake to the sound
the flood outside
the darkness pouring through
the window cracks
the crow caws it
looks for a place to
rest its weary head &
the worms frequent 
the slick asphalt
where dirt, debris, shit,
garbage &
the only real semblance
of justice flows
just beneath us all
as something 
wonderful
that
we
can
never
get
to....

Red moon rising scanning below
Seeing all, keeping secrets close
Nothing in the night it won't know
Red moon rising

In a haze just slightly morose
To caws of a lone calling crow
Clouds sweeping to briefly engross

Hue in the sky of a fire show
Giving lookers an eerie dose
Wonders along with eyes to grow
Red moon rising...

the garden still wet
threads of spider webs glimmer
somewhere a crow caws

Gray is the day, somber the mood
Clouds so thick emotions just brood
Noisy roosters vent strife

One lone crow across this sky viewed
Caws as he goes with none pursued
Swallows bring sky to life

As they dart, play looking for food
Their wings so angled that is good
Noticed now for unrife

unrife-uncommon
mostly seen in summer
here......
