BTW: The winner of The Poetry Lottery #2 was Gwendolyn Fleischer! Here is her poem...

Before Cell Phones

We stopped at a red phone kiosk

beside a high stone wall

surrounding a fire station

outside of Dublin

 I exited the black rental car

a murder of crows flew down

or maybe it was an unkindness of ravens

hovering just above me

sharp beaks flashing menacingly

sizeable wings beating in the summer air

 

I phoned the B&B for directions

the black birds cawed and kra'acked

wings swooshed just above the kiosk

they stayed with me as I  swiftly got back in the car

where my new husband was

safe inside for the birds' sorcery
