Excellent
Well Andrew, I have heard this air rumbling before. I have seen these birds take flight. Excellent! Short and sweet. Excellent. Thanks. Bill -
The picture to me looks like what I would call a crow. And yes they are freaky looking birds, they are huge (for a bird)and they make the most awful screeching sound, you see them here in Australia mainly by the sides of the road eating road kill (eww).
If I was in a dark alley with a crow and had a hamburger in my hand or tyre marks across my face...... let me tell you, I would be scared

thanks for the information in the comments now I know something more your poems seem to do that teach alittle about your world and in such a well packaged concise way. You have mastered this expression.

wonderful visual
Nicely done. Around suppertime here the crows head back to the rookery. The sky is quite literally blackened. I use to tease the kids that they were bats.
Thanks for the reminder.

Your right Tina, the rook is simular to the crow, but differs in that it lives in a community (rookerie). We have a rookerie in our village and each night they all take off together, about 30 to 50 pairs. The shadow as they pass is not something you would want to experiance after reading Hitchcock.

I don't think I have ever seen rooks, but from my understanding they are similar to crows and ravens?
Another good one
