An Old Plumber, An Ex-Carer, An Amateur Poet, Words From The Heart
As The Crow Fly’s
Haiku:
As The Crow Fly’s
From grey tree branches
In sunlit sky, black crow sings
To all passing bye
Today I’m presenting two interesting music/videos, the first one is “Blackbirds”, by Gretchen Peters, a big thank you to Debbie, for the introduction to her, via her wonderful poem and article today >>https://gloriasmud.com/2019/10/04/its-only-a-song/
And the second, music/video, is from the “Black Whistle Singers” in Crow Agency Montana, singing a traditional American Indian song.
G'day, and welcome to my blog site. My name is Ivor Steven, I live in Geelong, Australia. I'm an ex-industrial chemist, and a retired plumber, and a former Carer of my wife(Carole), for 30 years, who suffered from severe MS. I Write poetry about those personal thoughts, throughout and beyond my life as a Carer.
I've been blogging for over 2 years, and writing poems for 19 years. Of course a lot of my poems are about my favourite subject Carole, but since I've been blogging my writings have become quite varied, humourous, mystical, observational, and even a few monster/horror poems.

Crows, ravens…they all intrigue me! We get some that sit in the trees and talk. I talk back saying, “Hey, how are you doing today?” and such. 🙂 In size, some of them are as big as Cooper, or bigger than Cooper! 😮 🙂
Great vids, wonderful photo, sweet poem, Ivor! 🙂
HUGS!!! 🙂
Wow, powerful music, both pieces. Peters has a beautiful voice. And your Haiku brought it altogether just right. I love seeing the crows in the field where I walk. 😊
thank you for sharing these –
