Crafty crows are great in skill,
How with pebbles water jug fill?
You know they sit in curved rows,
Coz they are meant to be C rows.
They are as clever as seagull,
Stony looks keep vigilance full.
They also read your psyche sharp,
They come fast if them you hark.
If on the balcony a crow croaks,
It foretells a guest you will host.
From the far off branches of oak tree,
They also won't make your home dirty.
They fly away if thud sound you blow,
Farmers frighten them with scarecrow.
Harbingers of ancestral souls,
The metaphysics in them rolls.
Don't fear them, they do no harm,
Take it easy, you needn't alarm.
Note - It was written as rejoinder to poetess Nyla’s (on My Space) fear of crows.
hahaha playful..I like the description of crows. They are quite crafty aren't they?
Sir, I always enjoyed ur poems. Clean, lucid, fun, pun, rhyme, rhythm....all ingradients. This one is really a superb treatise(rather funny/serious) of crows. Like they bring news of visitrs, harbingers of our ancesters etc. all constitute this into a perfect, complete poem
I have always admired crows. They manage to survive the harsh winters in my part of the world. They are brave. I share your appreciation.of them. Excellent write.10, of course.
Crows are such interesting creatures, I have always loved them from afar, the locals here shot at them for sport, being ignorant of curious and interesting nature. Thank you for sharing this many thanks Michael
Sir, a nice poem on crows! 10! In our Delhi sky I see no birds, Only crows are seen and scavenger birds! My Dwarka is a concrete jungle no doubt, I pray for a green cover as my shroud! - Composed to honour your poem! -Raj Nandy New Delhi
Fitting tribute to the humble crow...wit with a healthy dose of knowledge! Nice write! -Roshni.
Great resume of the crow. Yes there is a certain eerie aura that we have bestowed upon this poor bird! Mark
