A Murder of Crows

A Murder of Crows

Weathered leathery skin
On zephyr, a maniacal din
Harbingers of death in tow
Tantalizing dinner below

Come englut a fill
On fetid entrails spill
Carrion on desecrated ground
Bloated by enkindled pound

No qualms of guilt
At barbarous blood spilt
Indulge in this feast
Tis nature of the beast!

A vessel void of life
Carved by keen knife
Who nourishes flocks?
Stewed upon the rocks

Barren of vitality
Fruitful only in brutality
A cycle of life arose
On winds, a murder of crows

Wow so imaginative and creative. Β We feed a family of four crows sometimes. Β They come for unsalted crackers and funny to watch them pick up a cracker and fly to our birdbath and dip cracker in the water. Β Love your creativity of words.
