haiku - warning

storm dark skies -
a raven's loud croak
from the tower.


warning for Mad Kane's Haiku Prompt. Inspired partly by Mad's own haiku and partly by the ravens at the Kitchener Memorial in Orkney

I love this - it reminds of the crow who announces my presence every single time I go to the forest - you'd think he'd know me by now :)

Birds--ever the harbingers or catastrophe. Good work.
