Who Am I?
Updated: Jul 1, 2021
Who am I?
Dark as night
Medium height
Corvidae
I flap through the sky
Don’t you know why?
Gliding is for others
I flock to the woods
Where open areas may be
I love campgrounds, dumps
And parks in the city
Hiding from humans
But a special few
The ones who love and feed me
Are the only ones I allow to view
My family means much
Even when a mate is found
We’re all connected
Each one of us bound
A wonderful life
That many humans refuse to learn
We’re the demon bird
And they think we should burn
So I really don’t need
To put on much of a show
Have you guessed who I am yet?
I’m me…a beautiful crow
