This is great. I love crows 😁
Awesome nature poem!!! Love it!!!❤️❤️💕
Another great sky-ku!
Impressive sky-ku and image… my favourite line is “perceptively trading grudges.”😊
This is very creative take on the Challenge. CROWS are like dark clouds that storm the sky.
Ominous feel to this! Loved the phrase”perceptively trading grudges”
Oh they're definitely very brainy! Loved your Haiku!
Crows, like Poe's Raven are mysterious and somewhat scary creatures. This captures their mystery like grudges captures their danger - especially to the nestlings of other birds.
This was eery from the beginning as I read the title and then the reminder that these birds don't forget their misgivings... Very smart bird indeed!
You have captured the crows and their “murder”grouping perfectly. All of the Corvids are very intelligent.
They are quite sharp.
Oh, I was just reading about this the other day! Crows are scarily clever. I love this haiku.
Hi Lamar! How could I not give these insights! Aaaaaaggghhh crows! Yet within the Sky-ku’s intention: ‘ winged shadows dot my view.’ when my ex-husband from Adelaide South Australia first moved to Brisbane Australia, he asked, “Why are there so many crows that come out just after sunset?” My answer? “They’re fruit bats!” Pauline 🌸 No obligation, for another short poem this time with my own video of photography you may like to read ‘Hedges: Mind talk’ https://todaysurvey.life/poets/hedges%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3Cdiv class="css-w4qknv-Replies">

Nicely done! They are pretty smart, aren't they?
