For Amama My fine feathered friends My black-clad protectors Knights of the Oldest Order Quiet birds of midnight Oh, sleek and quick-eyed beauties I cannot express my love and admiration for thee. Even the darkest of shadows The whispering wind And the quiet falling of autumn leaves, Are jealous of your splendor and lightning-quick wit Your immaculate black shrouds and secrecy For you are the greatest wonder of the earth! Not a single soul can begin to guess at the depths of your knowledge. You’ve wound and twisted your way through time, Flying on the wings of hope, chance, and mystery Witnessing the most spectacular events Watching, waiting, planning Bringing new life to those who need it most Leaving a trail of new growth in your wake. Some have called you accurséd death bringers Scavengers and thieves But I, I call you Angel Birds Chasers of shadows The Merry Men of the Animal Kingdom A sign of hope and prosperity Emissaries of our lord Messengers of a new beginning Divine conductors who laugh from on high Bringing happiness to those blesséd enough to hear thee Rasping, riddling friends of Hermes If it be you who guide me to the afterlife, I shan’t be scared at all. You cloak this land with your silken wings and seal it off from trespassers, You bring peace to my mind. And for that, I thank you from the bottom of my heart You murmuring, magnificent mysteries You captivating, charismatic, comical crows!
+250 words (in the actual poem) This was in a forum but since forums are down- extremely rushed thumb and ai art *cough* its for my grandma who loves crows and just recently had a stroke, she's doing better now though <3 it is written about the three crows that live on my property and have protected three times from animals that could have hurt my dogs
