scrapes the spine
of the rocky ridge
rattling the emaciated ribs
of oak and hickory
shaking even the crows

I love the idea of shaking out the crows … It exactly describes the sudden appearance of crows! Jane
It was blowing so hard – the crows were walking down the road! Thanks, Jane – K
Good evocative lines. Have you tried haiku? I’ve 3 of my attempts of haiku on my blog!
Thanks for dropping by, Eric. I hate to admit that I am not entirely sure what constitutes Haiku or the other forms one reads on blogs and twitter. I have written 3 line poems that others have considered haiku – but I would be interested in learning more about these short forms. Thanks again! K
Haiku is basically what I explain on my blog. 3 lines of 5-7-5 syllables but that’s flexible as long as it’s a strong image/feeling.:-)
