forget about the crows outside
imagine a shop display in shadow
crows stuck inside
one in a nest of newspaper
one fixed to the floorboards
eyes frozen
forget about the crows outside
imagine a shop display in shadow

A Murder of Crows by James Aitchison
Leave a commentI saw a tree
full of crows,
crows in rows,
rows and rows.
How many crows?
Heaven knows!
(Teacher’s note: The collective term for a group of crows is a murder, a horde, a hover, a mob, a parcel, a parliament, even a storytelling of crows.)
