Crow Conference Comments
Crow Conference
Set up a ruckus, crow conference. Passionate discussion! What is so important, bringing such angst? I am simply a bystander in this crazy ear shattering debate tossed back and forth like a badminton game. Marsh land trees of Alder, birch, oak and cotton wood are their conference room.
They have come from far and wide. Is it a judgment session, a family reunion or feud? Calls ring out in dark rasping vowels drifting in the wind and echoing through the canopy.

Jazib Kamalvi, You know what? A couple people I know thought the same when they read it, (not on poem hunter though.) I love it when people get a whole different spin. Good for you! Bless you so much! Of course I appreciate the time taken to read, think and comment................Kathy
Surly they must tire of arguments.............at first i thought: surely? ? then i wondered: surly? ? either one. sur·ly ˈsərlē/ adjective adjective: surly; comparative adjective: surlier; superlative adjective: surliest bad-tempered and unfriendly. he left with a surly expression synonyms: sullen, sulky, moody, sour, unfriendly, unpleasant, scowling, unsmiling; More - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - this week i'm in the middle of writing a poem about a conference of turkey vultures which my mate and i saw a couple of years ago by the river. we were not close enough to hear what was being discussed, so i'm going to have to use my imagination. i like yours...........quite a bit. to MyPoemList. i read a comment you left at a poem by Clarence Prince, a PH friend. bri :) welcome to PH! some favorite lines: Where is my peace? They are shady peace thieves! Shall I Stay and wait? Surly they must tire of arguments.
Bri Edwards, Thanks for the helpful word lesson. I will fix my word and the word does need a fix from surly to surely. I appreciate your input so much and your comments on what you found interesting in this Crow community interplay. I wish you every success in your own crow experiment and writing..............blessings, Kathy
Thank you Kathy Van Kurin for bringing us a delightful write with your keen observation and painting of a vivid picture with your words.The meeting of the crows is no less than our Board room meetings for serious discussions.As in your other poems in this poem also nature and its surroundings get such novel handling by your pen.
Bharati Nayak, Since this poem was written I have come upon differing views and info concerning these fascinating birds. I am not as familiar with ravens but I suppose they are really interesting too. The dark side and the vulture like qualities are true as well. Anyway I hope things are going well with you and life continues to be challenging and good. Blessings.................Kathy
Oh my gosh! ! ! ! You nailed those doom-sayers! Crows are the bane of my life. They torment my wee little sparrows, they threaten the little squirrels, and they rob nests of their eggs. And they brag about it, laugh about it, scoff at our entreaties to go away. If I lived in the country, I swear they would see the business end of a shotgun...oh, who am I kidding, I can't kill anything but spiders. Them I use bazookas on. Great literate poem, Kathy. Your word choice built layers and layers of impact. I think it perfect and am putting it on my Fav list and giving it a 10+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Susan williams, Well you have filled me in on some things concerning crows which I had no idea about but I guess it figures; tormenting sparrows, squirrels, and rob nests; now that it is on my mind. I've only viewed their behavior up in trees but oh, they are noisy! You are so nice in giving a thoughtful and informative-educational synopsis of Crows and of my poem. I agree about the spiders too. They get brought in with wood for our wood stove during cold nights. I have had to dispose of some doozies! It's great to think something we write is enjoyed and people identify with. Your have truly encouraged this heart. Bless you Susan and keep enjoying and finding joy in the things of this life. Kathy
Edward, You are welcome.Thanks for comeing by. Have a good day.........Kathy
How vividly radiant is your portrait in motion; I could reach out and touch those crows as they swoop by; I can hear the clatter of their cries and the rushing sound of the frenetic motion of the mass of their wings and bodies moving as a single black cloud! Fine writing, dear poet. Bravo! :) S
Thank you Mr. Seamus, Your the best. It is so nice to receive from the heart response like yours! Other's interpretation of a poem we write is so fun to hear because then a person realizes that we are not in this thing of writing alone. I like that. Yea, this experience was pretty much like you described in your review. They just wouldn't stop! Again thanks for reading. Blessings in your wonderful writing and of course life.......Kathy

Kathy, what an extraordinary piece! We've all probably seen a gathering of crows and heard their raucous chatter but we would never have put those unpleasant creatures in the board room because we aren't blessed with your imagination! ! ! Ha! Both a satire on business men and their meetings and a very descriptive tale of your peace and quiet being invaded by this unpleasant murder of crows. Excellent and entertaining and original piece!
