A Collective Noun For Cranes

A Collective Noun for Cranes

A collective noun for cranes

Is?

No matter

But, assert themselves they do

Erect and in

Full view

Of me and you.

Clanging and clambering about

We hear a shout!

Of riggers at their toil.

So many of our dwellings now

Are assembled by these cranes

They rise above our plains

Monuments to man-made cities.

But, nature is still here

Pooling lest we fear

That we are left

To our constructions

Alone

And think that our world begins

And ends

With us

Alone.

A collective noun for cranes

Could be

Waterbirds

By a pool

Lest we fool

Ourselves

That nature

Excludes

Us.
