Another fine poem, Gypsy---and a very cool picture----would make a groove album cover for a heavy metal band, say The Cult Of The Dead Crow? No? That's the name we came up with when there was a dead crow outside our practice room years ago

Hi Gypsy Queen,
You know I'm getting good at saying Hi((((((.

The crow is my spirit animal, I am apart of the Murder and join in on the bounty. Well, in spirit that is!

The scarecrow shouldn't feel it's let anyone down... crows are the smartest bird when working together. Their ability to work out and solve problems is now folk law. A bird that uses tools to to get the best out of its quarry... so no, Mr Scarecrow, the farmer put you in a hopeless position to look over his wheat field... the crows made a killing!

You clever minx. How do you come up with the subject matter? What come first? Is it the image, the words, the subject?

You are so impressive Queen Gypsy. What can one say that hasn't been said so many times before? A little Edgar Allan don't you think?:)

With our thoughts we create...
admiration within connection.

Kind regards,
James.

    Edgar Allen Poe? Wow that's quite a complement, I love his work. Dean Kuch, a fanstory poet that died five years ago, was the king of horror stories and poems. We were very close. We wrote a printed horror haiku book together, and a fanstory book about a Gothic romance. I wrote a poem followed by his poem, on and one, in a renku style. That one we didn't get to finish. In 2017 I fell in a deep depression and he had a heart attack shortly after. Horror haiku was not popular in fanstory but we didn't care. He was obsessed with Edgar Allen Poe an captured his style. Once he read me the Raven .. it was so good that it melted my heart. We met in person and we were going to move in together but he lived 2000 miles away and neither one of us wanted to leave our children behind.

    The picture of Murder Flies Over was horrific. The face was terrifying and I didn't want to make it a horror haiku so I erased his face with the Paint windows program. I did think about Dean when I wrote it, he would have liked it.

    My spirit animal, familiar, is a wolf. I like yours. Crows are very intelligent and mysterious... just like you. (*÷*)

    "Murder of crows made a killing" is clever. (*<>*)

    Most of the time the poem comes before the picture but sometimes it's vice versa.

This was a delightful haiku, Gypsy. I found the picture to be rather interesting. Your words presented an almost shameful position of the scarecrow. I am indeed familiar with the group of crows. Blessed be n hugs!

A very clever and creative haiku for the "carnage" created by a flock of birds using the word murder as it correctly describes a flock of crows.
I enjoyed the read.
Best wishes,
Mary

I like your poem - excellent presentation picture - ominous - can understand why the scarecrows head is down - out numbered. Good Haiku - good word count - good connection between lines - nice job

I've discovered the most western poetry needs a satori line of some sort or another, to have greater value than normal. The Japanese forms are great lessons in themselves, beautifully written, an excellent haiku, blessings Royn

I just had to read this haiku. I mean, "Murder Flies Over," and your handle, 'Gypsy Blue Rose,' was just too cool to pass over. Then you throw in that cool pic. I had to read it, and you delivered on that too.
