The winter crows

The winter crows are back,
cawing about God knows what;
robbing nests,
spearing baby birds,
and sundry
other
atrocities.

Oof. I felt this one. Nature is a cruel beast.
The feelings evoked by the imagery of the "baby birds" line are like a quick needle to the heart.

Is this a piece from school? I dig it 👍

Nah, I start school next week.
The crows make a racket here every evening, and they reminded me of Ted Hughes' 'Crow', who was a nasty piece of work, and then the poem just kind of tumbled out.
I like it too...it's heavy metal poetry, I think.

That is a good way to put it. Jarring, yet still enjoyable. I enjoyed the bird theme u had going for a couple pieces. But mainly, I was psyched to find new pieces to enjoy.

I like birds, they're scary mofos. They do such awful things to each other!
Got a pile of poetry books for school and think I will be writing shitloads for the next few months.

I'm super psyched! You will surprise yourself w some magical pieces you pull out of yourself.
I've barely been writing, but trying to get back into the habit. Enjoy ur class! Hope u have time to post some as u go.
