​Read the following poem carefully and answer all the questions that follow. (6mks)
THE CROW
Crows on the wing!
What grace as they swim
Rising and driving
Like fish in the billows
 
In the willowy air
Or softly as feathers
Franboken pillows
 
Crows on the wing
What a symphony sings
The wind in their wings
As they swoop as the rise
To the sea to the skies
As they float in the light
(Barnabas J. Ramon Fortune)
