Ewen's great photography is found here.
and here's my take on this particular PHOTO:
------
the king
grass grows where balls were held,
bridges, cities grew upon command;
defeated and expelled,
the king contemplates his former land.
-----

I love your poem. After I first read it, I went to the photos and looked at all of them. I assumed your poem was about a particular one of them. When I came back to the poem and clicked on the photo that actually inspired you, I was surprised but pleased to see it was the crow picture. That made me smile but also made me see the connection clearly. Good work!
thank you Karen.
Ewen doesn't post very often, but when he does, he posts lots of interesting photos, many of them quite inspiring. i like his landscapes and town photography the most. he does quite a lot of black and white which, if used well, usually adds another layer of enjoyment to many pictures in general.
i'm glad you like this 'poem'. this is my second writing about a crow, the first one's called 'the crow's tale' and - surprise, surprise, that one's a tale. a story kids and adults alike may enjoy. i loved writing that and i kind of like this one here, too.
I like your take on it.
That was a cool shot. I imagine he had to be at some distance. Crows are skittish (here at least).
Wow! Really liked the poetry and very happy my shot inspired it. My ego is about the size of my living room right now, but worry not, by the time I come home from work tomorrow, it'll be the size of a peanut again........... ;(
Jason - I'd say I was about 20-odd metres away from the crow. I nearly had an awesome shot of a hovering bird of prey, but it dropped about seventy feet just as I was about to press the shutter. :(
hi Jason,
thank you!
i think Ewen has answered you question about the circumstances of the shot.
crows are not uncommon here as well during winter.
IllMan,
being a source of inspiration is uplifting, isn't it?
and i'm familiar with the expansion and shrinking of one's ego as well.
be well, my friend.
:)
I love the photo and have probably seen that very crow myself!
I enjoyed your poem very much too.
thank you, Juliet.
Yours is a very good poem, SzelsoFa.
i feel humbled, dear Bernita.
