Hat

straw hat on a stick—

one look, and ravenous crows

flap to the next field

Snack

a ravenous crow

homing in on its next snack—

hapless ladybug

the kitchen kudzu

snaking up the table legs

ravenous for crumbs

The safflower fields—

how great the depredations

of ravenous bees!

feeding grounds at dawn

ten thousand ravenous beaks

sandhill cranes break fast

acres of sorghum

ripening in Dakota—

the ravenous geese

a pair of tin drums

warning the ravenous ganders

away from the corn
