Question: Would you comment on a poem about a blackbird's call!?
Black bird perched in palm tree
cawing grievously, such pain
I had never heard and
looked up to see his wings
flapping wildly, his cawing
grew freakishly louder
again, such tremendous pain
he called out to anyone,
anything that would listen
my mind raced to decipher
what he had found that
broken his heart in this way
or what he had seen

maybe he was not calling out
to anyone or anything but
releasing his pain for
himself

I turned away having done no-
thing to help, yet will carry his
pain as my own

bleak caw will for-
ever haunt my
soulWww@QuestionHome@Com

I saw/heard a Robin do this once as a snake got the baby bird that had fallen from the tree!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

That was a man you saw and heard,
in a shape of a black bird!.
He was after solitude,
to spell his heart out,
and without a doubt,
a bleeding wing 'd tell,
How a gal 'd rip apart
man's loving heart,
and his romantic mood!.

Old Kelly swore at the crows!.!.!.
He took his shot gun out and winged one
The poor bugger could not fly!.!.!.
Old Kelly put the gun away
He fed the bird and protected him
from the marauding felines!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
