Guardian

 

in the sky this creature is

who perches

at the tallest peak

of an apartment complex.

 

He views with faraway eyes

and caw-caw’s

vigorously if anything

is amiss.

 

He weathers rainfall

with a feathery blanket-

when discovered

food is always shared-

 

his mate can always

depend on him.

Rare to read a poem that notices how birds look after each other. Seagulls do this, too. You create an impression of a responsible, loyal individual. If they were human we would call crows upright and  good citizens. Somehow your poem conveys space as well, and the feeling of solitariness. Enjoyed reading

I read and spent much time observing birds and their family habits. Thanks for your kind comments.
