carrion crow’s flight
wings chop air with whirring sound
caw cacophony
swoop down to murder
sharp beaks jab at feast and mates
fight over road kill
I added a second haiku to join dVerse poets as we revisit “imagism”; MTB (meeting the bar) challenge hosted by Frank J. Tassone…check it out!

I love crows. These were very real.

In flight or when still, crows seem packed with motion. You capture that well.

Nothing passive about crows 🙂

Hunger of every kind make people do strange things! Fighting over roadkill… an image of a many situations in life!
Jun 19, 2020 @ 16:16:28
Yes, it’s real and surreal…a metaphor, I think.
Jun 19, 2020 @ 18:23:08
yes! Very good!
Jun 19, 2020 @ 11:55:46
Cawlicious!
Jun 19, 2020 @ 09:14:09
I can see it and hear it. NIcely done!

You’ve really captured the other, less pleasant, side of crows, Lynn, their ‘caw cacophony’ and roadkill frenzy.
Jun 19, 2020 @ 14:22:47
Thank you, Kim!

Your word choice is just right for the grisly business!
Jun 19, 2020 @ 14:22:20
Nature is not always soothing 😉
Jun 19, 2020 @ 14:53:37
No, and if it was we’d get very bored 🙂

‘wings chop air’ – just right. Great images here.
Jun 18, 2020 @ 20:59:19
great imagery, you took me there … how they love roadkill!
Jun 18, 2020 @ 22:13:29
Yep 🙂

A visceral and real cacophany of evocative images! I can hear the caws and piercing beaks! Well done!

Thanks for your comments and a great prompt, Frank!

A murder of crows…. this is the uglier side to the intelligent bird.
Jun 18, 2020 @ 19:14:07
yes, i went to their dark side…
Jun 18, 2020 @ 17:53:26
I can hear their wings chopping the air. A thoroughly vivid scene!

“Caw cacophany” is the perfect phrase.
