Grackle
Grackle

Old Bob Frost, in eight-line form,
speaks of baptism from a passing crow
and shows us how, beyond the norm,
we might write wisdom within his shadow

Memory shows me a rascal grackle
fixing me with his jewelled red eye
over discarded, stale burger he cackles,
and I salute him in reply.


Line count: 8
Rhymed abab
For Express It In Eight, 08.08.21
Prompt: Frost’s poem, Dust of Snow.
