[Valerie Please]

Who said no first stanza? I like it. I'm probably reading it wrong being an American (unless I'm actually British pretending to be American, conspiracy theories and all), but to me the cuckoo on the wire sounds like a cuckoo clock. So it's a good foil to the crow. It's inanimate and eternal.

xo,
Val

Better to be cuckoo
sitting on the wire 
introducing spring.

Crow knows
when the chicken
has laid an egg.
