Shawn Daniels Poet Imagism

The Raven

Loathe 
The Raven 
Flying around and caws at thy 
Landing on head stones that shine blissfully 
Decimating the realm of tranquility 
Black feathers that repel the light of GOD 
Darkness follows the Raven 
Wherever he may roams 
I dislike writing about him in my poems 
Loathe 
The Raven 
Being so bold 
Not being shooed away as he was told 
Circling above you can get so old 
Bearing down and weakening ones soul 
Only to be known as 
Darkened Soul 
Loathe 
The Raven 
As he is cold 
Stare into his eyes of darkness 
And you will be told 
Loathe 
The Raven 
Bestowed as the angel of death 
I am told 
Lingers wherever he goes
