Crows compete
with the sound of chainsaws
the scent of cedars


Maybe swap lines around, even shorten them?

e.g.

scent of cedar
crows compete
with chainsaws

Interesting combination of soft sounds -- "scent", "cedarwood", "sound" -- ending with that hard C with crows -- a satisfying visual and aural symmetry to this!

Thank you Kelly.
I'm ashamed to say I hadn't noticed!

Love this one and I agree with Kelly. The sounds blend ever so softly.
