A new born child with angelic grace has to face many hazardous situations. This is a great philosophical poem from your pen dear madam, I appreciate it.

A child is born with angelic grace, but when he progresses in life, there is a kind of deterioration and retrogression happening within him! A very meaningful senryu! (10)

A well stated treatise in poetic verse on what appears to be the duality of human nature... I wonder if it is truly our nature to mature into pigeons? Or are we simply corrupted by a world full of crows?

My interpretation of this poem is that we are born innocent, we pick up the dross as we make our way through life. Whether or not crows meet angels at the end is debatable, but I get the jist. Well done.
