Dark Crows

Crows - Arrowing through the grey sky
I watch them as they fly
Their voices ring out far and wide
I shiver - I want a place to hide

Crows - Flocking up higher and higher
Black dots, ink on fire
A single black feather drops to the earth
A sign that evil has been given birth

Interesting metaphor, crows equal daily problems, in my mind. I see problems and troubles "arrowing through the grey (grim) sky." Problems flying in problems I perceive it. As you hide at first the problems do seem further away. The black feather inicates they are as close as ever. Hiding does not work, That is what it says to me. That is a powerful message. I see a series in this work with the single , short 1 verse poems completed. Cannot wait for some of the problems to be revealed and can the darkness be lifted. Can hiding work? Nice work Tina!

Great imagery describing crows. Those dark ominous birds. I like them, actually. Nice pen on this.

Marvellous stuff. I quite like crows though and never see them as evil. Though I did spot two on a roof opposite my neighbours house crowing most deterindely and unusually so one Sunday morning. My neighbout was dead of a brain haemoraghe two days later while playing tennis. But surely that had nothing to do with the crows cawing? Did it?

Crows have been viewed as Messengers of Death, if one comes into the house someone in that house will soon be dead. This outstanding poem brings to mind the sinister symbol that crows have been for so very long. Outstanding write!
