The walk is chalk'd and barren dry
#7
first off, great to see you giving feedback to someone elses poetry.
the meter seems a little off in line 2 (a suggestion would be; a remnant of the fallen snow)and line3 (a suggestion would be; Expire before the mornings cry if you read expire as ex-pi-er then leave that line as is) not too bad but i think you ended too soon, the last tercet sort of left me hanging for more. why the crow, i think it a great opportunity to add another 4 or five more triplets.

It was all ice not long ago-
The remnants of falling snow
Expire with the mornings cry

Of people gone to work, they try
To sleep all through the moonlit glow
And wake in reign of sun and sky.

In ignorance the days go by,
Until one night they stop and know:
Their days are shadowed by a crow.

(Thanks for spending the time to read and critique)
