In case you haven’t already guessed there seems to be no end to the music about, referencing and associating with Black Crows. This post could go on and on and on. I focused on black crows, and a raven, in order to create some cohesion for myself. I hope there is little overlap between Bear, Willow, Johnny and myself in regard to our choices for this theme because there is so much sky to cover here. Though I will be very surprised if Johnny and I don’t cover at least one musical selection. There’s a vast array of music, poetry, art, research, science and all the ways in which people record their observations and interactions with the Crow in their daily lives. This post could simple fly away with me if I let it. Kaw Kaw

“crows visits”
after hungry hawk’s denial
Kaw! Kaw! Kaw!
hawk gone, gone, gone
crow visits
strutting surveying
street walking
straight on white line
chic glistening black
sneering at autos
wings smug
Kaw! Kaw! Kaw!
water, water, water
drinks deep
eyes glinting bows
swaggers
crisp feathers catch wind
Kaw! Kaw! Kaw!
still hungry hawk watches crows flight

“crows kawing”
sparrows tatter tatter titter among spilled seeds
dried leaves haunting
wind whips spills out then whips again
bending folding clouds scattering
crows kaw kaw kawing
like all crazy ones do

Excellent selections – ALL of them! ♥♥♥ Really digging the Stones…added the vid here and a couple others of theirs to my playlist.
Next ink I’m saving for is a triple bird piece – Grackle, Crow, Raven…kinda like a maiden/mother/crone deal. I’d never want to cage any of the gorgeous birds but I’d sure be tickled if one wanted to ya know…hang out & chat with me for awhile 😀

MBW, I have no doubt that any Crow in any form would enjoy shooting the breeze with the likes of you.
OOO another one for the Stones. Score! Yeah, I’m working on increasing their fan base everywhere. LOL.

These are all amazing stories and songs. The Angus and Julia Stone song is amazing. I am checking them out. Those animations were the kind that take you in and make you resident to their charm. Great work Eva.

Hi Johnny. It’s amazing what people have created with Crows as their inspiration. Animation has taken on a new significance for me of late. As for Angus and Julia Stone–I find their songwriting very intriguing. You’re the first person to indicate their music may be of interest to you as well.They also have solo works. I strongly suggest listening to several songs. Two of my favorites are The Devil’s Tears and Draw Your Swords. I’m curious to learn if their music resonates with you.

I listened to a few of their songs, one of which was only the girl singing. I like them very much. Right up my alley. My favorite animation was with the kids that helped each other in the end. Great job on your picks. 🙂

Hey, I exist to ‘make YOUR day!’, slpmartin. Indeed I do. Hey, if you’ve got a Crow poem, please drop a link to it here.
Oh yes, the quote at the end sealed the selection choice deal for me.

Bear, the final selection by Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds–The Black Crow King–have you heard that before?
Every time I listen to it, it grows on me more and more.
