dVerse Poets – Poetics – Corvid Poetry
“In many traditions, crows are messengers and close attention is paid to their actions.” Robert Moss
Currawang Ways Beady, beady eyes piercing, busy, though you'd never know on account of the fact they seem so still, focussed, pointed, ever sizing movement, always weighing action, do they ever love, even hauntingly? Head cocked to one side, listening, looking, waiting for that moment that now cannot be a surprise, and so, currawang will live another day of a long fifteen years as herald of attention. Copyright 2022 © All Rights Reserved ® Note: The Currawang (kurra - wong) is an Australian native bird of the corvid family there are several of the species, notably the black, grey and pied, and resemble more closely the magpie.
