The Sentry

She perches with stealth
head moving in staccato
to whispering winds
a watcher of the night sky
sentry until break of day

Sue Vincent’s #writephoto – Crow

Vivian Zems

Mum, author and dentist is how I describe myself. I love creating pictures from words. Sometimes a painter, other times a weaver- words are my tool; trying to create something beautiful. When I was nine, my dad introduced me to audio books. I was hooked. With his guidance, I fell into a world where words became life simply by weaving them together. So here I am, living out my passion- reading and writing! Enjoy the ride with me 😁😁

The crow in the photograph WAS looking like he was alert, and keeping a lookout for something. Great short poem!

great poem. I love to hear the birds at night when they flap their wings in the trees.
