The Raven
The Raven
Walking slowly on my way back home,
I passed beneath dense trees and then though,
The setting sun was at the deepest chrome,
A dark silhouette came through with me too,
A Raven's swooped striking with its beak,
And left me wondering as to why ?
Its harsh croaks came from above the trees,
And then I heard the baby bird's cry,
That dark plumage and mysterious eyes,
Intruded into Raven's nest, crushing eggs,
Lacking vision of the higher skies,
Will the villain pay on piercing pegs ?
No compassion, ready to play foul,
Raven's wraith is as bad as the owls !
