1.
three crows cross the yard
oblivious to the time, and
with nowhere to go
I spend the morning singing
as I pull weeds from the earth
2.
three crows cross the yard
then vanish in the new leaves
which cover the trees
I see only their shadows;
they are gone when I look up
3.
three crows cross the yard
their blue-black wings stir the air
with tessellations
this poem is like all the others:
old patterns within patterns

subtext 
thanks for for your kind comment about Three Crows. As far as your question goes: I would not say I am drawn to nature. I write often about what is in front of me. I sit on my back porch quite a bit, therefore nature is in front of me. It is important to me because it is a way of paying attention to the world of which I am a part. I have written about my long commute to work as well, not sure I would call that nature.

This is a beautiful poem that depicts the beauty of nature and the simple things in life. The imagery is so vivid and the flow is amazing. I really enjoyed reading it.
I have a question for you, have you always been drawn to writing about nature and why do you think it’s important to showcase it in your work?
