Ravens Cackle

I look up to find him looking at me with his coal black eyes, hi blue/black plumage 
shimmering in the morning light, is he calling my number for me? Is he calling his maker to 
come reap me? Will he perch upon a branch and watch them dig a hole for me? Will he sit 
upon my head stone and sing his sweet melody for me? And will he wing me to heavens 
gate?

This is a great piece,Jessica, for it is very descriptive and expressive. Keep the creative pen flowing. Sara
