Edgar Allan Poe
was feeling just a little low.
For Lenore, his love was savin', 
but he was only visited by a raven.

guttural croak
black as starless night
demonic tales evoke
fear of shifty ravens
it's an 'unkindness'
raven-type joke

"Alas", I sighed.
There, before my eyes, 
a shiny bird did bide.
A raven's appetite,
with patience, and time, 
is satisfied.

What was its name
and why did it scare
that poet of dark fame
by tap tap taping in
the long spectral night,
was Poe fair game?

once an old raven named moe

wanted to be a young crow

friends did surmise

he'd end up in pies

so flew him away in tow.

Black like the night,
he soars and tumbles,
an acrobat in flight.
Keen is his sight, and he’s
a playful mimic.
This bird is bright!

Hiding from rain
Lies a slick raven
That old wisdom retains
Loves shades of loneliness
Traps all stirs of sounds
Bears mounts of pains

Ravens, clever birds, but pointed as cursed scapegoats. A black plumage and a husky, rebellious voice often inspire injustice.

Premium Member Raven Calls

Death calls in the mist
Carnal clouds gather above....
In flight soaring high
Guardians of the dark side
To enhance her arousal.

Premium Member We Spit On Poe's Raven

We spit on Poe's raven
The crows and me
True blackbirds, living our truth
Eating corn ahead of the masses
Leaving nothing at borders
Glorying in our evilness

Premium Member Ravenous

The raven loosened up his belt
and had himself a patty melt.
“Don’t eat so much”, I did implore
As he spat out an apple core.
Quoth the raven, “I’ll have some more.”

Raven

Raven-- Jackdaw or Rook,

Adaptable and Intelligent Crook!

Very Black or Black with Gray,

Every Caw-- An Ill-Omen, some say.

Never More: Poe-- such a grave day!

A Raven

I see him as he flies over head, majestic he is in his coat of ebony,
Floating in the air, his wings spread, oh how I wish that that was me;

Premium Member A Raven Ponders

A black bird ponders.  Wind suddenly blows. 
Below on the ground, autumn leaves swirl.    
She gave him a letter. He gave a rose.   
A raven has all the time in the world.
