today I saw a crippled crow
hopping awkwardly in the snow
scavenging in the cold
for scraps of food
outside the school
his leg sticking out
at an ugly angle
as I watched him trying to
wrangle a piece of bread
from an unforgiving snow bank

I wonder if I will now dream of unforgiving snow banks. I can’t let it go.
Snow banks = nightmare, for me at least. brrrrrr!
(Lovely, Lively) sad portrait..
Thank you Dhyan. Good to see you.
Poor crow
He didn’t seem too upset strutting around in the snow, Doubtfulpoet, bad leg or not.
I think I was viewing him from the human perspective, sitting in the snow in a cold car and hating winter. Thanks for dropping by.
