A crow is not the cutest thing to see,
It hardly holds any fascination for me.
Still I despise it not from my heart,
As I find it clever, alert and smart.

This is planned for use in my Feb.-March 2023 showcase. But 'hatching' is incorrect; try substituting 'incubating', the process which leads to 'hatching'. ;)
now i plan to put this one in my September 2018 showcase of PH poems, highlighting those of poets from the Indian subcontinent' in Sept. thanks, in advance! i grabbed it out of MyPoemList. bri ;)
@ Bri Edwards, Thanks for reading my poem and appreciating the rhyming in it, and taking time to write the elaborate comments. I have read your poem 'The Raven Pair' and liked it. Shall put my comments separately.
@ Geetha Jayakumar, Thanks for reading and liking it, and for the kind words.....
@ Pradip Chattopadhyay, Thanks for the appreciation. I am inspired.
Yes............why a crow? ..... all creation come close to build a home for procreation and then depart when the task is done.............may be your imagination was ignited by the bird.
Thank you, @Soumita Sarkar for sharing your thoughts after reading the poem. I've just read your latest poem 'Spotless' and commented thereon.
i had started another comment, concerning bird behavior and such, but seem to have lost it. i'll just say this: if men had to build a house (or at least rent an apartment) before mating with their chosen female(s) , the world would be a different place. thanks for sharing. i like down-to-earth poems, though you threw in a bit about human families. and i appreciate the rhyming. bri :) perhaps this related poem will be enjoyed by some of you: The Raven Pair...... [Lovebirds? ; Bird Sounds; 'Beauty Is In The Eye Of The Beholder' (An Old Saying) : Very Short] ] Their harsh voices seemed almost gentle today, as, in eucalyptus tree, they seemed to say: “Black Beauty, come join me now. I see you are there.” And where I first saw one, I now saw a pair. They’re not cute, may not be your favorite birds, BUT I bet between them …… pass some bird-love words.
yes, perhaps, a circle, though some circles are bumpier than others. if YOU started as two-in-a-nest, i hope you will end as two for as long as you wish.........as long as it isn't TOOOOOOOOOOO long!
Simple poem but presented in a Gorgeous way.. Loved reading it.
Sweet and simple. A lovely, yet age-old idea, beautifully executed.
This's a lovely poem! building...then back to being alone once again!
@ Noreen Carden, Thank you so much! I am glad you enjoyed reading my poem. Am inspired.
Hello Khairul very good poem i enjoyed reading it Well done
@ Cassandra Jasmine, Thanks for your comment, that led me to edit the title. Done.
A great poem! I never held a liking for crows, but it's true; life is life, and there' no denying it! However, I do wonder of the title Dreams; is is a crow's dream to have little birdies, or just a title? I especially love the first stanza: 'A crow is not the cutest thing to see, It hardly holds any fascination for me. Still I despise it not from my heart, As I find it clever, alert and smart.' Great poem overall, Mr. Ahsan!
The last time I 'borrowed' this poem was for my Sept.2018 showcase. Thanks again, my friend. : ) bri
