Fireblossom Friday : Corvid and sit a while.
There are crows in the garden today

As The Crow Flies
The crow looked out
Across the farm and saw
The plume of toxic fumes
That seemed to settle everywhere
The crow drew circles in the sky
And watched the bees and
Butterflies struggle to
Survive without the blooming
Wave of wildflowers
He saw the spill of inky oil
Like Rohrsach blots upon
The coastline where water
Fowl and fish no longer swam
He followed streams of shining cars
To factories and smoking stacks
That filled the air with particles
He could not breath then fell
To earth again as rain that will not
Quench Earth’s thirst
The crow looked down
From a dead tree branch
And sobbed, “Murder!”

Because It Is My Heart by Stephen Crane – Micro Poetry
A Broken Heart
solitary crow
cawing in the distance
no reply
came back to it
and so it flew
with broken heart
carried in
its beak
peasant farmer
bent over, sowing seeds
crow follows

prompt by Hamish
under the winter sky
bare branched trees stand in rows
black crow caws
