A gathering shadow

crow-leaves

swaying with the wind
crows gather like leaves to share
the growing darkness

territorial disputes

everywhere I turn
crows and gulls gather in peace
ah! only a dream

a flock of crows takes
flight, threatening to bring day
to an abrupt end

the cawing of crows
heard on a dark moonless night
lends darkness a voice

how crows arrive to
bring darkness blacker than night
to winter’s party

near the open sea
with nowhere to hide from crows
seagulls race from harm

J M Lysun

the golden eagle
no match for a flock of crows
in the noon day sun
