Crow - September 21, 2014

The daily kigo for Carpe Diem Haiku Kai's September meme is "crow":

Let's look at how the ancient master's saw the crow:

kare eda ni karasu no tomarikeri aki no kure

on a bare branch
a crow has stopped
autumn dusk

ki ni naku wa yamome karasu ka ama [no] kawa

cawing in the tree
are you a widow, crow?
Milky Way above

Now our modern haiku-poet Jane Rechhold (who's furnished this month's modern kigo)
 

a crow's wing tips
sweeps from the clouds
dark rain drops
 
 
 
and now, our host: 
black on white
a flight of crows settles down
in an autumn field

Autumn means crow season here in our valley.  You might find a couple any time of the year, but in autumn they fly in from other areas ... and we hear them bright and early in the morning, especially at my house which is not far from the river.
 
 
at the bus stop
black crows filled the air
cacophony

from the east
a flock of crows arrived
reaping the river

    1. Thanks Oli ... I'm happy you enjoyed the post ... especially as I didn't feel particularly inspired by crows ... but that memory of waiting for a bus at dawn helped oodles.
