I loved this one, it brings back the old beliefs we held way back, they were that if a crow was seen on a house for three days there was going to be a death there.
Strange as it may seem when I was here in Leicester and worked in the city I had to catch a bus each day, opposite the bus stop one week for three days a crow was on the bungalow opposite, A few weeks later I asked of the people there to a person that also took the bus and they said that one of the people had died there that week so how true is this old saying and have you the same sort of folk lore??
Hope all is well with you and the crow has gone lol,
Yours as always Ian..

Though serious must be the message to the crow, it isn't without a sense of humor.
Enjoyable as always.

you have penned (inadvertently?) a pretty cool aphorism: " better to have a crow hovering than a buzzard!"
That now will forever feel like part of the poem to me.

As to the poem itself:
thematically, great
execution, good
length, excellent
