The Raven

The raven, so smart It’s evil in its own right Talks to very dead Flies like the bat, just higher And can read a person’s fear

Yes, this is why Poe was so fond of mentioning that bird in his poetry. A good Halloween bird to paint for us, Russell.

Interesting thoughts about the Raven..I enjoy hearing them communicate with each other...Great Halloween work..Thanks for stopping by.She(M&M) says to the guy,"I thought that you were interested in my brain".He(the guy) says "Is that chocolate too".Sara
