Raven He riffled through his thoughts erecting a wall; black eyes from unplumbed depth of shifting sea. Gray as gray, as the raven mocks and pin with a withering look a prostrate pawn. Impotent to think of anything at all other than him on this ghostly bleak night. His breath a combustion of nightmares a roar of extreme death fear and horror, suspend or expel like a reservoir. The sounds, smells, and sights of a brittle star and fierce with the passing of time. His thoughts often turned an engorged raven in silent ire. 3/29/2018 Image 1

The darkness of the raven penned well, Eve. I particularly like the line, "black eyes from unplumbed depth of shifting sea". :) Congrats! ~ Artsie

That is the image I would've chosen because it is so compelling. Unfortunately I couldn't think of anything. You have done quite nicely with it.
