Crow
its black feathers

shining with light

tumbles over
its broken wing

rights itself
again

as if it were Laurence Oliver
being Richard the Third

“Now, is the winter
of our discontent..! ”

Crying for its kingdom
of the skies

the failing light
hiding it in night

its curses
still visible

in the darkness.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

Scarlett Treat 03 March 2008

Now this will drive me nuts...what is that saying...something about a man who would rather curse the darkness rather than light a candle....Oh, dear, a mind is a terrible thing to waste...but the curses I utter will also be visable in the darkness... Thanks, sweet one, for the poem...Love Ya!
