To A Crow Poem by Martin Swords

To A Crow

Rating: 5.0


Despised Crow
Who loves you
But another Crow.
Blessed with ugly grace,
And coal scuttle call.
Strut like funeral folk
In suit of mourning,
Condemned to deal in death.
We cannot all be peacocks
Nor would want to.
Beauty is in the mind,
As some beholders see

Monochrome. Wow!
Ask any Crow

Short, sharp engaging verse about a much maligned bird. Your final couplet is brilliant. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
