Raven On The Roof Comments

Sometimes I can't quite figure out why crows do what they do. I wrote a prose effusion on the actions of three crows. Maybe you'll find it interesting: AN ANECDOTE ABOUT THREE CROWS.

Based on an observation of animal behavior, you effectively point out a human foible. I like the natural way you handle this. After all, there is no absolute distinction between human nature and animal-like characteristics.

Ha ha. 'He took off while yelling 'caw caw caw.' ' 'took off' could mean, 'flew', 'ran', 'walked', 'jumped', 'crawled' etc. HOW do I KNOW WHICH poem character 'took off'? ? The Raven? The Stone-thrower? : ) bri

Rajan, I give 4 stars. But IF I were the poet here, I'd probably try some rhyming, and I'd break it into at least 2 stanzas/sections, not necessarily with equal numbers of lines.

line 2: I wonder if the 'minaret' is 'white' due to the raven(s) on its roof. line 10: Again I see a resemblance of the bird to me: ' ntelligent and smart', though intelligence may just be smartness, but to a hight magnitude of smartness?

This: 'Despite being useless, ' made me laugh [not TOO loudly], though my wife says..... [and I AM], , , , I'm LOUD, and...sometimes 'useless' (well, almost useless) . : )

If someone thinks he is too smart, he should keep his smartness to himself. No need to display your foolishness to others.

Thanks to everyone for liking my poem.

And it applies to everyone. You will find many character like raven in your real life. I salute.

Excellent representation......thanks for sharing.....

Interesting. Well written piece.

Great observation on crow. I also wonder why they keep cawing.

Ha ha ha....that's like a crow hunting. No matter how many times you scare him out he will come back.

They only create mountain out of a mole, they presume things and start believing it's happening. Feel sorry for such characters.

Fantastic satire, I liked this kind of poem which makes you think hard. It can be applied to those who play victim of nothing...

Nice observation on the crow. Interesting poem
