The Cawcus

crows in bare tree

Taking a break from work
I watch a gathering of crows
in the oak outside my window

They fly together in unison
caw to the passing clouds,
jockey for best position
on the oak’s bare branches

Then one by one they fly away
their caucus must be over
as is my break from work

  1. Oh, I love this, so much. You’ve really captured the personalities and gathering of crows. Clever wordplay with the title, too – a murder of crows often reminds me of a political debate 🙂

    1. Yes, it was odd to see so many in one place at this time of year when temps are hovering around zero. Maybe they were holding a conference to nominate a warmer place for gathering! 🙂
