A found tanka (kind of) from The Slater Field Guide to Australian Birds by Peter, Pat and Raoul Slater, 2nd edition, 2009 p. 352. Conveniently tanka-wise, Australia has five native corvids, two crows and three ravens.
And for your amusement here’s two wailing ravens
Love this, but then you know I love all forms of found poetry. The wailing ravens are glorious.
