Description
Counting Crows - Old Superstitious Nursery Rhyme by Barbara Griffin. A traditional children's nursery rhyme about counting crows that dates back to 1846. The moon and big trees images were taken in my back yard. A perfect Halloween image.

WOW, it's a beautiful picture, and I have never seen this poem. Very interesting one!

Thank you Ausra! This is an old superstition that is still used today, except today we only go to seven and say: one for sorrow, two for joy, three for a girl, four for a boy, five for silver, six for gold and seven is a secret that cannot be told! LOL! I found this one from 1846 and thought it was interesting too.
