My first wife, who died, used to do this all the time.
Had some lively conversations, believe me.

Last persimmon
has been lost
the cold morning
sakuo.
Thanks for sharing the last persimmon, Sakuo san !
From tomorrow we are expecting the first snow ... whow ...
Gabi
By a strange coincidence the fuyu persimmon seed I planted in a pot several weeks ago has a little sprout showing today! Perhaps it is International Persimmon Day, celebrated by both people and crows! If I am lucky it will grow and in 10 years I will get to eat a persimmon. If crows don't get it first.
In the meantime hoping you will write a first snow haiku.

Hi Benbara,
so let us hope for a persimmon harvest in your future and I can send you my crows to help harvesting ... my progress in CROW language is good, with so many teachers up in the treetops ...
It can be so irresistable!
The magpies would be a little more challenging...

nice observation of a universal experience :)
Thanks for visiting, Marty !
Yes, the crows are universal ... and more than plenty in my part of Japan!

crows are smart, among tool using creatures

There's a lovely book, prose but poetically written, by Englishman
Mark Cocker called Crow Country.... a real inside look at the lives and intelligence of crows, rooks, and jackdaws.

A very big chuckle, Gabi. I've done that myself. Love it.

Can't beat them so join them--as the expression goes!

Cute and funny, Gabi. Arrrrre you apprentising yourself to the Master?

I bet we've all done that, Gabi. And the crows are good at talking back to us, as well, I've noticed!
S.
Good one Gabi.

I'm so glad to find I am not the only one devoted to crows and enjoy talking to them. They return the compliment by remaining in their sentinal perches, undisturbed by my proximity.

Funny how the sounds animals make is so different depending on the counrty and language of the decyphering entity. No simple cawing for you, Gabi San. Your Arrr makes me think of those crows as pirates.
