POPO2023 bonus card 1

Kerfe POPO collage 0723

To Kerfe

Just as I begin this poem
a Congress of Crows flies and calls
across the back field.
They bring me gifts in a soft grey sky.
You see, this morning they arrive
wing-weary from carrying home
from suenodora realms
timeless hieroglyphs in their beaks.
I thank them, turn each one,
and they speak.

    Awesome…especially “a Congress of Crows” …. that has a nice ring to it. That would be a good title of a poem or song.

      Max, I didn’t create that term, it’s what a group of crows is called (also they are called a murder or a horde.) I agree it would be a good song or poem title :)

        Regardless it’s great…sometimes things jump out at me…and that did. I never heard that before.

      Sadje, thank you. It took me quite awhile to put it together and I like how it turned out. It’s a prototype for the most part and I think I’ll use that format again.
