1. This is spine chilling !!!

   • Indeed

2. What a wonderful painting! I’d never seen this one. And your words were evocative of the darkness of the scene. Love ‘murder cawing.’

   • Thank you. There are so many great paintings out there and this one fitted willow in an eerie way

3. Nice spooky poem. And, by the way, did you know it’s Van Gogh’s 160th birthday today?

   • Didn’t know, but how appropriate

13. Is it a murder of crows cawing, or just Murder?

    • Murder cawing should be a flock of crows cawing 😉

14. I love this picture. and the poem. I’m a fan of both Van Gogh and of Crows. They go nicely together.

15. You have a way of finding fabulous art work and then writing fabulous haiku to go with the pictures.
