A Crow And A Goat Comments

Admittedly, I have a thing for crows. Goats too, although not so obviously. So this poem had a natural allure for me. And alluring it is. Beautiful simple declarative sentences set up an innocence, a scene of pure image without deceit or misdirection. And that is the misdirection, because there is wonderful depth to what is not depicted. It's a startling revelation of how quickly the mature mind begins making connections below (or above) the surface content of what we perceive. The combined dance of simplicity and complexity here is gorgeous and gorgeously executed. My hat's off.
