Congratulations on your win. Your "Ravens Cry" is a creative Lanterne write/picture. Is your new name Mrs. Poe??? Hahaha!!! Have a blessed day/week......................

lol Paula. There are times when I get in Poe mood, but not to the point that he did, although I greatly admire his poetry. Thank you.

Ravens cry above my head a lot every day. I caw back. Now I'm worried about the birds. Nice poem.

I’ve always felt eerie when I see or hear them. Thank you, Hilda.

Reminds me of Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds". Now how about a happy poem? Ive had enough dark poetry for one day. Death will come soon enough! Good to see you, my dear. Hope you had a super day!
