city crows

City Crows

they called from tree to tree

across the busy city street

since I don’t do crow-speak

cannot say what the shout

was all about

they  loud- talked all at once

was a rule broken. something wrong

was anyone listening 

to the argument

maybe they were in a debate

on how to regulate entitlement

 within the system in the park

 it sounded a lot like question period

I wondered what was won or lost

in any case they flew away

unruled by any calls for transparency

This is my favourite out of your poems. When I was reading each line it was so easy to build up a picture of what was going on and found it really easy to relate to. Being new to poetry I wouldn't feel in a position to offer constructive criticism, but reading this definitely sets off the imagination

I love how your poem says a lot more than what is written. It's almost as if it is a story within a story visually. Thank you for sharing!
