Bird 5 - Käkä -The Crow Comments

Indeed, the crow is an INTUITIVE BIRD. It observes human activities while remaining ironically detached. Unlike songbirds that disappear when their traditional haunts are gone, the crow adapts to urban settings. It's interesting that crows are seen as vehicles for departed souls to visit us.

The crow- a bird that is not regarded as beautiful, nor having sweet voice, but it is still an important creature of nature.We may learn so many things from their behaviour.A story about the thirsty crow we heard in my childhood days speaks of the cleverness of crow. Yours is a great poem on crow that has some elements of Hindu belief about this bird.I second the views of Rajnis Manga on this poem.

Crow is a bird familiar to all people with its ubiquitous presence! I too have written a few poems on crows! Definitely it is a clever bird. As you say it can be mischievous and mean. Still we all love this scavenger! A lovely poem, full with everything believed and attributed to a crow! A big10

geeta, it's easy for me to see why you've chosen the crow as a subject. i too have been fascinated by them and made several attempts at writing about them. presently i have just one poem posted in ph with the title, naturally enough, crows. here they are more common in the colder weather- coming in autumn as it gets colder- and leaving in spring as it gets warmer. glen p.s. kaka is an onomatopoetic word for the crow. i tend to hear the sound as caw caw. like other corvids, we generally don't think of their sounds or calls as musical, do we? -g

Dark as the night, Deep black plumage, Determined, but unsung hero among the birds.... // I have read quite a number of poems about crow since my childhood but I have no doubt in saying that this is a real masterpiece. No body could have written such an ode to an ordinary crow without love of nature all around as well as adequate knowledge of culture within which we exist and to which we can relate. We also get a message that all creatures deserve to be treated kindly. Thank you so much, Geeta ji.

Marvellous depiction. Well presentation with excellent collocation. Thanks for sharing such intensive poem about a bird like crow......10

Truly, a crow is a mysterious bird with virtue and vice. Loved reading the poem
