Ink
Crow flies in near dusk
inky streaks across the sky
the shadow-bird nears

This is beautiful. Not sad, but very contemplative for me. Crows as shadow-birds are very evocative for me. Our submission can be found here. Thank you for visiting.
Thank you, also, for visiting One Single Impression. I have added you to the blogroll.
Beautiful.
love the ’shadow-bird’ reference. Nice work!
Pam
This poem ends where the crow begins in my imagination! Wonderful stuff.
Thanks for your encouraging words at One Single Illusion!
wow, the picture compliments these words well.
Beautiful, I love crows
Nice approach. To focus on something that appears like ink as opposed to ink itself. I love the idea of a ’shadow-bird’.
a wonderful take…imagination taking flight
Nice work, Pam … like the best Haiku, it has a flow, a thrust from initial to final concept. Not all that easy to do in seven syllables.
Great take on the prompt. The image is quite striking.
