The Crow

Contributed by Crow on Thursday, 10th July 2003 @ 04:35:00 AM in AEST
Topic: mystical



Sitting on the flower box, black as coal
no song in his voice, the crow.

The morning fresh from a light spring rain
What gift he bears as he taps the glass.

Quite bold this creature said to be,
I rise from my sleep to greet this intruder.

Mystical past carried on wings,
scolding and taunting, I let him in.

There on the sill the gift he lays,
a marbled stone from the earth below.

Tassle of silver, purple ribbon,
this that I offer, no bounty is taken.

The night gives-in, a morning is born,
there at your window, the crow resides.

I look with wonder from a far and distant
place, as he taps at a window once more.... Crow

I caught the tribute to Poe in there. Almost a lighter scene to mirror that classic in a very distinctive style. I read it three times.

well he has me looking for him, some mornings. he brings little things from the world outside, i have a small pine cone, a rock, and a piece of a shingle. i leave the window open, i guess thinking he might make a home, but i know he won`t. thank you for looking.

i could not believe the thing was at my window, i have a shelf in front of the window
and small items on it. i think thats what caught his attention. he comes and goes,
i tried to make the write a little more interesting, add a little mystery.

Does Crow want to know Crow or
Does Crow want to know Crow?
If Crow can attain the glory of heaven
then Crow will be acceptable to Crow.

I do not think, because of their species,
that Crow will ever marry Crow.
If they should marry, I'd like to attend,
The wedding of Crow and Crow...

I will not be held responsible for
any children forthwith...
