Play purpose I can figure for cruises that you're very very aware alert and noisy.
In other words some things happening if there's crows around and there's noise.
Well presented and thanks for sharing.

It has to be a baby bird, the tragedy is it fell out of the nest and left to die, you can't use a full grown bird.

Thank you very much for your time, kind review ,and helpfull feedback.

I absolutely loved the dual pictures of the road twisting into the background and the crow, Gypsy. This was extremely well done and rather enjoyed. I liked your words of the tanka, again they were well done. They definitely spoke the truth. Blessed Be n Hugs!!!

Lol. Those crows are so good at their cleanup of the roads. The stars saw it all and know who did it.

I wonder if you meant "bear" in "bare witness"?

Thank you big sister.

I figured it was a vulture that's getting the roadkill, but it could be a crow. LOL Once again this is a very lonely poem. It makes me wonder. I know it's a poem but they often reflect their author. Are you okay?

Thank you for asking, Barbara. I'm in a sad mood today but I will be okay. You are right, vultures are the ones who eat roadkill all the time but I research and apparently, crows eat roadkill too. I hate vultures so I went with crow.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read and review my poem, Barbara, you are very kind and I appreciate you.

crow pecks his roadkill - crow pecks AT roadkill (it's not really "his") - just an observation while reading lol

anyway, a great tanka about the boulevard of emptiness...

thank you for sharing

Your contrast with the majesty of the star-filled night sky and the mundane of a crow eating to survive is startling in a good way. Life goes on, but your poetry helps us see those stars.

The imagery starts out like a peaceful, beautiful night with stars shining. Now enters the crow looking for his meal and road kill will do. Nature is always at work.
