This week our prompt is the opening of the poem
The Poet and his Song by Paul Laurence Dunbar
"A song is but a little thing,
And yet what joy it is to sing!"
black fingers spread wide
the crow swooped across the road
open-mouthed with joy
one note symphony
a song is but a little thing
cawing's how he sings
the crow swooped across the road
open-mouthed with joy
one note symphony
a song is but a little thing
cawing's how he sings

I like how you condensed the song to a single note.
you must have a heart of pure gold. I have never found music in the cawing of a crow. Because of you I will listen harder.
Stan: your comment inspired me to add the vid for "one note samba"
Not that a crow has ever been compared to Ella Fitzgerald.
Nor Ella to a crow -- ;) I enjoyed your haiku's, well written...

grizz: our ears are conditioned as humans to hear things in a certain way.
rob: nice turnaround :-)
I like it. An unexpected song.
missed this last week, thank you for drawing me back... for this, and for the song (and I always know that spring has come when I hear the first crow)
