up noth by the lake in hot august for years on end. there are shadows in the yard but dusty hard ground below the hill. then there is the water, it’s warm but shallow. the muck is deep and the fish don’t come near here, no boats go through. there are cranes this time of year, always one by itself. never more, always alone.

I see the crane in the shallows of the cove, searching for fish, for sustenance. I, too, search for sustenance in the cold waters, but find none. It’s difficult for everyone. This earth tries to provide, but can be thwarted by the very beings it tries to feed.

The crane is a romantic symbol in Japan, if a couple makes 1,000 paper cranes then it is said that their marriage will be successful. Cranes are a beautiful bird and some are near extinction.

The school I attended for undergraduate music. It was hard, but I appreciate all the information it gave me about what I love to do, music. I made so many friends, and relationships there, that I will treasure for a lifetime.

the crane stood at the edge of the lake, as still as if it were painted in on a japanese scroll. I hesitated; I’d come down to skip stones across the water, which always relieved my worried mind, but I didn’t want to disturb the peace of the moment.

cranes are pretty neat. they hang out at the beach. i think they do. they also deliver babies according to myth. wow that is actually the bird. cranes also demolish things and pick them up. cranes are neat.

The crane stands at the edge of the river, bony chicken feet planted in the swirling pink morning mirror of water, blue body poised delicately, immobile in the breeze, beak waiting for that quick sliver flash that will mean breakfast.

a crane is big and yellow and towers over me. i like to think one day i will be like him, all the power in the world. not letting anyone boss me around. i want to be in control – like him.

She craned her neck over to the left so that she could see the board. The boy in front of her was wearing the most annoyingly tall hat in the history of existence.
She crossed her arms and sat back down in her chair, cursing her bad luck.

she handed him the paper bird with a wan smile. he took it gently from her fingertips and placed securely in his pocket, whispering a hoarse ‘thank you’.

a bird standing in the early morn…mist rise like a veil of softness embracing a day that just has begun. sunlight illuminates the gentle sky as the quite surrenders to the dawns early embrace.

the building would never be finished. the workers sat by the floor utterly out of touch with whatever reality they had constructed for themselves. the crane, its mouth gaping like a dinosaur, was sad. the investors had left the country and would ever be coming back. soon the workers would leave and the crane would rust.

I folded a crane using the pita bread that they give out at Mongolian Grill. It took me quite a bit of time and effort, but it turned out to be a pretty little thing. Then it flew away.

Crane is an animal. When I think of a crane, I think of weird animals. Cranes are ugly birds but that’s okay. I bet they have cute personalities.

My dad rents cranes in order to erect buildings and stadiums and such. He is an owner of a steel fabrication and erection business. The economy is not affecting them at all right now.

it stretch tall abve the high rise buildings casting fragmented shadows on the concrete ground. she craned her neck high to grasp the full view but the sun glared in her eyes and obscured her vision. ugly, she thoought.

Paper. She stared intently at it. It was beautiful, plain, and…
With an idea forming in her mind, she began folding it deftly.
And at the end, she had a paper crane which she gave to her sister.
Who smiled at her, and she felt a lump rising in her throat. That smile was worth a thousand paper cranes.

A silver crane flew above head
Flying through the sound of battle
a teardrop fell across the night sky
and tore the world adrift
peace made through a childrens cry
and God loved his children evermore

Skeletal cranes rise over the harbor. The moaning sounds of metal on metal makes my stomach vibrate.

crane lifting things high into the air. Little children gasp at the height. When we see a crane we think of new buildings and hope they will be aesthetically pleasing or for the good of the community. little bird looks up at the crane and says ‘are you my mother?

horrible job. many types of cranes. i hate my job. i know nothing about cranes.
to me, a crane should be an origami bird that symbolizes peace and freedom and hope. or something along that line.

A crane. Beautiful swooping bird with blue body and wings of white. or perhaps it is simply a yellow machine for lifting heavy objects.

The crane is a delicate bird of fierce appetite, stalking in the shallows and snatching small frogs. Its close relative is mechanical, also of fierce appetite and gracefulness, but eating concrete earth and rock.

Paper cranes are an imitation of birds. It seems if birds represent freedom, then people that make paper cranes are imitating freedom.
