Blackbird

Annoying calls of crows in my yard

I hear the caw

Birds call as hypnotism

Turn the skies more black than grey

 

I am charmed by their chants

Of a black bird coven

And I believe I can fly away

 

But I’ll be damned

With a mindset raven

Gossiping emptiness; threats along the way

 

Driving more men mad

And farther from a destination; heaven

As I search for further prey

Very deep yet Mysterious Words
makes me think of Edger Allen Poe

"blackbird singing in the dead of night"

wow this is colorful in a dark sort of Poe/Hitchcock kind of way---

driving men mad, the gossiping raven...and the caws are they raucously laughing at us.

Thanks For reading Jacob.

Sounds like it's the caw in your head too, like this one a lot Michael. Killer last line...

[Michael G. Smith]

Thanks Frieda. The darned birds insensitive cawing from where I couldn't see was driving into a poem of insanity.

[Frieda P]

It's a good twist on a nature poem...
