Lucky crow. The pancakes and syrup sounded so good, now I want some. We have lots of crows here. I enjoy their noisy big voices and dark bodies. For some reason they call the crows, gackles here where I live. It is a little nickname I guess. I may have spelled that nickname wrong. Did you ever see the Heckle and Jeckle cartoons of the two crows? Very good writing and thanks for sharing this wonderful poem. Vonnie

I am so enjoying your birds. We are moving to Ocala, Fl in August, and at present spending half our time there. It has been fascinating to see how humongous the crows grow in Ocala. They must average two to three pounds more then they do in Miami. Thanks for sharing this; it was a fun read.

You're kinder to a crow than I would be. Our town has a problem with the critters, Mermaids. I enjoyed your poem so much because you do a great job of explaining the connection you feel with the crow when you decide to share a pancake. Saying you are honored to be dining with this creature shows you to be a real bird lover! judi

I love the image presented here. A pancake breakfast usually means time that can be spent on something that isn't just a quick, gulp it down, run out the door type of meal. So, the peaceful nature comes through this poem. It's a morning that can be spent enjoying a meal without the hurry. I enjoyed the entire poem. The only thing I would suggest would be to take some of the "I" statements out of the middle. The beginning of the poem is written with a 'glimpse' type writing. When I got to where you were putting "I" in there, it began to lose a little of the images for me. I like it, but I wonder what what happen if you rearrange a few lines to see if you can write without saying "I" or "me". I had a person challenge me this way once with my writing, and wow, it made my writing deeper and more meaningful. I cannot always be done, but when it works, it is good. Again, very nice picture story created with this poem.
