Vultures don't fly at night

The Vulture does not fly at night.

He shifts his feet down the branch

Reveling in the absence of light

Waiting for the chance

His crooked brow and wide eye

The flutter of great black wings

His beak is full of lies

His talons are ready to sting

Short grass makes easy prey

Bushes rustle and conjure small cries

He can watch from the branch all day

But the vulture does not fly at night

Very discriptive, awesome.

i feel this poem, vultures are a feeding frenzy at night, absolutely crafty,
again, the originaity is there, the grammar is there. the imagery
you have a poetic mind for words, job, keep it up

[Middling]

I think there is more to this than meets the eye, this mat not be neccesarily about a vulture.

"The Vulture does not fly at night."
-This really makes me think this. Aswell, "His beak is full of lies" the use of personification here makes me wonder is there a person or people who you have in mind when u write this...

Good poem, it made me think. Aswell as the good wordcraft.

I have to agree, this is a very striking and powerful piece of writing, short but indeed very strong.
The way with which you have used the same line both at the ending and the beginning was very appealing.
Very well written piece!

wow, this is was a really interesting piece. can't stay i've read many poems about vultures. alright, this is where i give you constructive criticism:
flow, it needs to be worked on
His crooked brow and wide eye
The flutter of great black wings
His beak is full of lies
His talons are ready to sting
such as this, if you read the first and third line together, the sound kinda funny. maybe you should try and make the lines the same number of syllables so that the reader does not have to try and set a flow, because it would already be there!
yea, that's the only criticism i can give this piece
the description was perfect because i can see the contemplative, nonchalant vulture lazing on the tree in the desert, so mission accomplished there! overall, nice work! and keep it up!

Very good job! I'm wondering if it's a metaphor to anything... Idk just a feeling. But once again you imagery left me speechless, a very unique rhyme-scheme also! I'm always happy to read your work!
