dr_con Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Fear of Being A murderous murder of crows descends on the Summer park baseball basketball soccer and the defunct tennis courts tabula rasa mechanized imaginations of BMX skateboards obscured rule based makebelieves hid from polite society Now covered by a clean white slate as the Philosopher Kings caw across the chilled and stirred skies They say to get beyond omens and corpses or Odin’s bright messengers to see the face before we were born one must be driven Sick of the clamour of right wrong vermin or blessing born under standing that it is as it is not precluding better or Winter thermals do work wonders for a conclave of winged children deciding their fate While in our hearts we still feel the promise and stir of Spring.

dcmarti1 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 There is a compelling rhythm here, not forced but forceful. It propelled me to read on. I was unsure if this was really JUST about a murder of crows, however. 3rd time, though, I think it is.....maybe. Tidbit: a Brit historian (Starkey) I saw on TV once quoted ANOTHER historian (name forgotten) who said a group of historians should be called a "malice". Nice! Loved that "tennis courts tabula rasa"..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyv Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Hmmmm, yes. This "murderous murder of crows" has left me with flashbacks of Hitchcock's "The Birds."
