Notes About The Poem
Note: the word unkindness also refers to a group of ravens

Raven Compression

guttural croak
black as starless night
demonic tales evoke
fear of shifty ravens
it's an 'unkindness'
raven-type joke

They are good birds that get associated with evil. Well done for the contest. Congratulations

Ravens are mean yet fascinating birds. I could imagine one as I read your poem.l
