~*~ Murder of Crows ~*~

perched on a bare bough,

    murder of crows watch the crime scene—

wearing black


 
 
 
 
 




The tradition of wearing black is a sign of respect for the dead. In some countries, widows or mothers wear black for months, some for years. It's a way to show their grief.

HAIKU is a Japanese short unrhymed poem that uses imagistic language to express the essence of a deeply felt moment. It resonates on a deeper level, enlightening the reader and making an insightful connection. English Haiku doesn't follow the 5/7/5 form, because Japanese syllables are much shorter. The rule of thumb is to write it as succinctly as possible and 17 syllables or less.

I get a lot of questions about my presentations. I create them using two graphic art programs. I don't use a template, there is no template for what I do.
