And then there were...






a murder of crows
a rabble of ravens
all in wilding disarray

cawing, raving
over the same bad meat
to validate their stance

a magpie, black and white,
swoops from highline wire
boosts fare from the fight

wings away in mock salute
another bona fide success
in an endless feudal row

a murder of crows
a rabble of ravens
all in wilding disarray


Three Word Wednesday, moderated by ThomG, offers disarray, validate, rabble as the word prompt today.

Ooo, a murder of crows, wonderful.

And what a fun game sometimes to fill in the blanks on... a (noun) of (noun.)

Someone once wrote "a tangle of children," playing cards on the carpet.

Words, tumbling and tumbled and so darn yummy!

great, original take on the prompts. I love murder of crows. I also love a whiteness of swans. How descriptive.

'a murder of crows' and 'a rabble of ravens' and 'a magpie' - I love where you took this.

What fabulous wordsmithing!

Tumblewords, I don't believe you.

Those words might tumble inside you and out of you, but they are too well placed to be random...

I like "wilding disarray", the feeling of motion and sound this evokes. I can just hear all those birds, fighting over scraps.

I enjoyed the read.
