Grackles

 

Their great fan tails

black feathered

beady eyes cast spells

from nether

 

with Grackle glaze

they shimmer

from clicks and clacks

we quiver

 

'cross parking lots

ill-mannered

above our heads

they gather

 

in plagues

defenses wither

from white windshields

deliver.

I guess you could equally have a plague of Grockles....?

flocks of Grackles
are called Plagues
a perfect name
for such a scourge,
what other name
could one give
to these hordes of
Pirate birds.
