Raven's Shadow

Raven’s Shadow Staring beady eyed Collecting for winters nest Natures unique post Silky shiny black Dawn-to-dusk itinerant Multitasked creature Suave wings casted wide Full shadow imprint on moon Solo transporter Beak fluid sounds Winter snow cloaked by congress Envy your freedom © Shane Cogan 2013

I loved this poem, Shane! I too, envy the freedom that all animals have. This brought to mind one of my favorite poems, "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe. Amazing imagery in this poem, as well! Great work!...Thank you for the kind comments!

This had some cool lines in it. I especially enjoyed the alliteration of cloaked by congress. That was an awesome image in the last one!

Very unique and creative work that you have penned..I feel that this one is actually a political work..Sara

Thanks, Sara. Actually this one is not political at all (just nature). But I can see how it could be viewed that way...
