Goodness, what to put here, what to put here...
It's been far too long since I posted anything at all to my little gallery. Stress probably, from various twists and turns in life--that and finishing up graduate school. Not much to say on this one; I'm really just trying to get my creative gears turning again, though a dear friend of mine, upon reading this, told me that it's as if I never stopped writing.
Heh, what do you all think? ^^

You have made crows part of a love story and not more predicting or "in theme" animals/birds such as the dove, for example.
That's admirable, and I must say, it makes me like the poem. ( Not to mention I have an avid affinity for corvidae )
I also appreciate the resonance you find in it, the musicality. It's been nicely implemented, and blended with the occasional white rhyming which was at its turn, combined with other rhyming structures as well, from what I see. Especially in the last three quintets, I like how you commenced them by having white rhyme in the first verse and then continuing with a rhyming structure.
Aw, and the third stanza touched me most.

Much obliged, Ed, for your extensively insightful comment! I'm really glad I could move you so much with my whimsical words. ^^
You seem to have touched on a trend that I try to include in many of my poems: the fanciful re-envisioning of the mundane, and topics with widely recognized connotations. In this case, taking the ominous air around the crow and making it appear romantic! :)
As for the musicality, I'm an avid formalist writer, so meter and rhyme are my indispensable go-to tools of the trade, and I take their execution with meticulous severity. This poem was a bit of an experiment to try and implement both a fluctuating meter and rhyme scheme, which I believe you've pointed out the latter in your comment. Overall, I think the piece turned out quite charming. =D
But by far, the most challenging task of a formal poet is to utilize meter and rhyme while clearly, yet aesthetically, conveying your message! This can get tricky when you're dead-set on certain rhymes and concepts to use, but it's a puzzle I rather enjoy, to be honest. Oh, and it just so happens that my friend also found the 3rd stanza to be especially well done; it's great to know from more than one reader that I hit the mark there!
Again, thank you kindly for your feedback, sir! :3

Well, what do you know? I've been bamboozled. Positively surprised, to be precise :D
It's wonderful to see someone else who still has a deep appreciation for rhyme, meter and overall structure in poetry. My respects to you!
As for the trend you use in other poems as well, well, I guess I now must prowl throughout your gallery and read more of your stuff. I'm sure you won't mind that, will you?
