L'aura del Campo

Nineteen crows [177.7]

Silly, but it's something that can be worked on, improved or discarded later. It's based on repetition of line and rhythm. The title can be changed.

Nineteen crows

Nineteen crows in nineteen trees
calmly eating burgers.
Nineteen crows in nineteen trees:
each one cawing, murder!

Nineteen hikers hear them call
under trees they gather.
Nineteen hikers under trees
share their chips and laughter.

Nineteen crows look down on them,
nineteen heads keep nodding,
choosing one to swoop on down,
tell them: hush your natter.

Nineteen hikers go their way.
Nineteen crows will watch them.
Nineteen hikers sing their songs
till the mountains crush them.

Nineteen crows in nineteen trees
all exclaim, "so gruesome!"
Fattened crows in nineteen trees
roost in twilight's bosom.
