Poem Artwork

On a baring tree
All shorn of love . . .
Blackthorn, pricked
Bourn a Crow!

Rue to the morn!
O’ forsaken bird!
He who lorn's so low . . .
Love, gains to gird!

Raven kin!
All ye caws to sing!
Black feathered, gloss. . . .
Refulgence, wings!

Spare thy sloe!
All ye umble's, damson!
It’s in haws, love sings!
Crow,"the harslet", ransomed!

From the old trees of 1500 hundred century when old wives could tell you that someone was soon to crock because the crow said so.
Maligned bird that entertains itself teasing everybody else, if it stopped smoking it would have had a lovely canary's voice! LOL

Kimmy.
"I saw this morning morning's minion..." with the same passion and intensity and reverence. Delightful word choice and expression. Yes!
