The Twisted Tree
They flock together one more time
A reunion in Old Town
A rare occasion to catch up
But the name "Crow" contains some irony
Contention from the get go
Followed by intervals of peace
Thoughts of murder set aside
And ruffled feathers smoothed
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The eldest has few complaints
A successful engineer and architect
Then Sister One a triumph academically
Her professorship a thing of wonder
And Sister Two's the toughest one
A fund raiser to the stars
But the youngest bro perceives a curse
Plotting to place it in verse
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
They proclaim their love before they go
Dysfunctional but bound by blood
In lift off from the twisted tree
As satisfied as they can be.

Thanks Tommie. We do draw strength from each other. Also a little blood now and then.

A murder of Crows my love? I am thinking...thinking....this is so intriguing to me....and agree with Minerva....famaliarity...in a good way.
There is a brothers Grimm story...with sisters and eyes...but no..
I think this is a T Crow show...i love this dear....in both senses of the sentance....this is why i love your pen...
The heart is why i love your soul darlin...
All mine

When you don't live together it's easier to stay loving. ;) good read Crowfly.

There should be a short collection of poems dedicated to the Crow by Crowfly one day. And this would be one of them.

How eerily written my crowfly!
"A successful engineer and architect
Then Sister One a triumph academically
Her professorship a thing of wonder
And Sister Two's the toughest one
A fund raiser to the stars "
I received so much inspiration within from
that passage ..alone.. lol geesh
