Just lovely, Tricia--not only for the wonderful use of sound devices (esp. the assonance), but also for seeing common crows in a moment of uncommon elegance.
Kathryn: No! I don't. Those poor blackbirds. I'm in California, and I think you are too. Do you remember the crow die-off some years ago from West Nile virus? All of them disappeared from my town, but they've come back.
Donna: They really looked like that. sigh
GoldenEagle: I'm guessing you like lots of birds. :D Me, too.
That was lovely, Tricia! I don't think I've ever written a haiku, but you manage to do it so effortlessly. And a beautiful photograph to accompany it. All your posts make me wish I lived near you. You seem like such a peaceful person.
L'Aussie: Ethereal! What a lovely word for it. Thank you so much.
Carolina: I have to work at being peaceful, but I find peace in nature. It's always there someplace. I wish you were here to walk with me. :) As for the haiku, I received some great advice years ago from a woman who started one of the first haiku magazines in the West. My love of nature combined with her tips probably helped it become a form I slip into naturally.
Viva: *grins* That makes me happy. Maybe we'll meet each other out there soaring.

oh I love those fly into your head while you're walking poems. Yay!
I love haiku. Lovely!
Love the updrafts of your writing. (Hugs)Indigo
Laurel: Ah, I'm glad you see what I saw. I was startled when the light glinting off their feathers looked like velvet. That sparked the haiku.
Jan: This is my favorite way to write haiku, just be walking and have the words form from what I see.
Marcia: Thank you!
Indigo: Aw, that's such a wonderful comment. Thanks!

Jules: Oh, I'd love to fly up and up. Sometimes I watch hawks dipping, diving, soaring and long to have that power.
This is so ethereal Tricia..:)

Scraps of black velvet - such stunning imagery. I'm moved to seek an updraft of my own.
L'Aussie: Ethereal! What a lovely word for it. Thank you so much.

lovely word choice once again!
I hope the updrafts take you to beautiful new worlds in the New Year!
