Dark Loss

He tried to fly flapped his wings High above him a dark duvet drizzled sadness Only yesterday, or was it last week his wings and feet carried him little raven didn't remember Carry me carry me he squeaked to his sorrowful parents We have to go they said hipping hither and thither He hid his head under his useless wings and waited and wailed *** September 17, 2017 7th place in contest: In The Dark sponsor: Russell Sivey

You are a raven Darren, most intelligent and wise of birds, it may not be on air you fly but you soar just the same. I like this write, your interpretation for this contest, and not just cuz I'm a crazy bird lady :) xomo!
