Fling us a poem of just 44 words (not counting the title), including some form of the word wing. https://dversepoets.com/2022/11/14/quadrille-164-winging-it/
Betty had a wing, she’s a dove
Hugging was how she showed love
Some others balked
While some people talked
But her hugs felt just like a glove
Look up in the sky
And see Betty fly by
And send her a wave goodbye

For this week’s Poetics, I would like you to choose a member of the corvid family, and (taking inspiration from the examples above if you wish) write a poem (or even a song) about it. Those of you who like an extra challenge may choose to populate your poem with a variety of corvidae. Here are the collective nouns for the main corvid types to get you started:
A treachery of ravens
A parliament of rooks
A clattering of jackdaws
A scold of jays
A chattering of choughs
A mischief of magpies
A murder of crows
Last week I wrote a poem that fits this topic perfectly…

It was called Crow’s Rumor
These cuties were on my shed yesterday. I took a few pictures through the window just in case they flew off but I was able to sneak the door open for a couple pictures before I scared them away. They were in the tree next door and on the neighbor’s roof!
