“I like my lover's heart blackened with a deeper shade of darkness, where the ravens and I can rest in peace.” Ann Marie Eleazer She had her potions ready, plus an arrow etched with runes. Stygian mists swirled all around, yet she had perfect aim. Into the dark forest she went and spotted the raven. A deadly hit but ill-omened: it was a female black bird. Cursing in anger, she knew it proved no good for her. The male raven flew above her as she entered the mansion. Dressed in black, she entered her dilapidated bedroom to change. Below, all waited, dressed for the occasion. They heard a muffled scream, and all ran upstairs. A long time passed, and no one dared enter the room. Finally, the door creaked open. Dust, soot, while a poison ivy Grew on damp curtain wooden rails, a dilapidated screen Hid a tattered black dress, while two black ravens flew into the night.

Dear Victor, How haunting and vivid, blending myth, omen, and grief into a single dark POTD. Congrats! I just love the ravens-symbols of death, mystery, and the unknowable-echo Poe’s legacy, yet you make them your own, letting them haunt the mansion and memory both. I felt the chill of loss and the ache of unanswered questions in every line. Victor, you conjure darkness, but also the strange beauty found within it. Spring Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

Ravens are not only revengeful in this generation but can go as far back as two generations back. A story I once read, a man shot a raven, the funeral took place, each of them, bringing a small flower, or twig or leave and then revenge was planned. This man could not come out of his front door, eventually he emigrated to another continent! A very impressive write my dear friend CONGRATULATIONS ON POTD. Blessings Jen

' A deadly hit, ' yet, ' it was a female. ' I can see why ' the male raven flew above her as she entered the mansion. ' Revenge, indeed ! Your thoughts are like Poe. Very eerie and dark. Congratulations Victor, on Poem of the Day. My best to you. Hugs, Brandy
