Raven Compression

Black like the night,
he soars and tumbles,
an acrobat in flight.
Keen is his sight, and he’s
a playful mimic.
This bird is bright!

What a smooth and witty poem, Andrea. I like how descriptive it was in such a short period.

Congratulaions, dear poetess, on sharing the top podium in this contest with a cute poem depicting the key attributes of a raven. Also loved the picture. Wishing you a pleasant weekend, penning your gems.

Cool poem, I decided on Nightingales even though Ravens enchant me :)

Nice! I know they're smart, but I didn't know they were mimics! I keep remembering that you have a fantasy about flying...I hope I'm not misremembering.

They are marvelous to watch. A less than pleasant bird on the ground, the vulture is one of my most beautiful soaring creatures to see in the sky -- when in the desert, I often admire at their splendid flight.

This one reads like a good entry to me. Way to go. The Raven and crow are similar I think they are anyway and I have some things I like about them, but my husband hated them because they would destroy his planted corn when it would start coming up and also the peas. Sara K

Yes, in the fields scarecrows have a better ring to their name than scareravens!
