the sky is smooth and gray
like concrete
my words are featureless
leeched of color
like concrete
three black crows harass a fourth
she has something in her beak
limp and glistening
against this morning sky
they are the only
movement
sound
color
Words and Feathers 
For something so leached of color, this is so vivid. 🙂
Thanks very much. Sometimes you need the black and white film for the highest contrast.
I really am drawn to monochromatic art or in your case, “monocrowmatic” art. 🙂
The puns!
Right, this is going to sound crass but here goes ‘cos I mean it – your words paint a thousand pictures.
Thanks! It doesn’t sound crass at all.
You do have a gift for painting vivid pictures with very few words. Impressive! 🙂
Thank you very much. I get lucky once in a while and the words all line up.
