Notes About The Poem

The Raven

Moon celestial red
In Erie fog filled bog
Where hundreds of grey 
bones lying in wait
Oozing blood curdling cries
Risking fears in the eyes
In ones fathers eloping 
Into the blackness 
no judgment here
Fears are embraced 
Hell awaits gazing through
The fiery cavernous hole
The hunched  Raven stands 
Alone atop of deadwood
Wings outstretched
The Sentinel
with eyes wide open
Stands gothic form
Night of dread has commenced 
The living dead are sommoned 
Ravens cawin laughter seals his fate
 Raven oh Raven where is my daddy
I shaunt look for him
just want to know where he lies
I won't be bringing any flowers
Raven,its best be forgotten 
Hell is no place for mere mortals 
Only for raven and that forgotten 
soul
