I AM RAVEN
Like 7 Pin it 5THE MOON IS FULL OFF
IN A DISTANCE YOU CAN
HEAR WOLF, I AM RAVEN
I SIT UPON EDGAR ALLAN POE
GRAVE A SLEEP AT ONE TIME
HE WAS ALL THE RAVE IN THE
WORLD, I WOKE UP TO A WHISPER
I THOUGHT HEARD SOME ONE SAY
THE RAVEN!!!!!! I LOOKED ROUND
AND SAW NO ONE, I FLOW TO
THE GROUND LOOKING FOR FOOD
I WAS IN NO MOOD TO BE BOOED,
I FLOW AWAY AS WIND BLOW
THE LEAVES AROUND AS I SIT
UPON THE EAVES OF THE MORTUARY,
DAWN IS COMING AS I WATCHED
THE SUNRISE OVER THE OCEAN,
I SAW A GHOST SHIP I FLOW
TO IT AND LANDED ON THE
CROWS NEST WHERE I WILL
STAND INTILL WE GET TO LAND,
AND THEN A A OLD SHIP MATE
SAID LAND HOE, SO I FLOW
TO THE LAND OVER THE MOUNTAINS
OVER THE RIVERS PAST THE STREAMS
OVER WOODS WHERE I STOOD ON
A NEW GRAVE IT READ CHARLES DICKENS
AT ONE TIME HE WAS ALL THE RAVE,
AS THE MIDNIGHT MOON SHINES
I FELL A SLEEP FOR TOMORROW
IS A NOTHER DAY, I AM A RAVEN!!!!!!

Gosh greg where to begin with this super write! Firstly I have always loved the Raven and Crow. I had a huge obsession with Edgar Allen Poe as a teen. So I loved the nod to his Raven here. There is a sweeping sense of travelling in this write. I really did feel I was looking through the eyes of the Raven. Then you gave a nod to the infamous Dickens and I even loved the “Tomorrow is another day” line which took me to Gone With The Wind! I mean what a journey ! FANTASTIC my friend your imagery was perfect
Gwen :) x
Thank you Gwendoline
this took me days to write
on paper first I thought I wonder how it would be to see it through the eyes of a raven And birds can fly a long way
and yes I love both of those writers
and The line i use tomorrow’s another day the line in the movie is after all tomorrow is another day I didn’t say it that way here thank you so much for reading
Well your Raven certainly took flight dear greg, a job well done indeed :)
Thank you Gwendoline
Love your poetic stories Greg ..you just get better and better lovely man...boobies and all 😃💜
Thank you Marion
Greg, it looks like good Gwen has beaten me to it for comments wanted to use, but'll add well done sir and a joyous and real respected nod and wink to Charles Dickens is the poetic icing on the cake.
And so good to read a poem about a raven for they are few and far between.
Poe like Dickens would salute you.
Full honours and respectfully bestowed and thank you for imagineering and writing a terrific poem.

What a little gem you have written here Greg! A dark little gem but one that sparkles none the less. Your poems just get better and better. Very well done. I enjoyed reading this so have pinned it 👊 x
Thank you Tina I love this poem
because it tells a story about a raven
I am what it could be like I made him human almost like
And I had a little help Tina when writing this poem I asked cherie as I read it to her what would fit what word and she gave me mortuary
That's fine. You wrote this brilliantly. You may already know this, but if ever you want to find a different word for something try a thesaurus... it is what they are for. They give you a whole load of words meaning the same thing x
Thank you Tina out I’ll look that up
There are free versions on the internet. Synonyms are words with the same meanings and antonyms are words meaning the opposite x
Thank you Tina I will look that up
Fantastic imagery and I love Ravens. So much to gravitate towards. Great writing.
Thank you on your poem I wrote thank you I thought it was my poem at first but yours was good
Greg your elegantly written and haunting poem is certainly well worth a second look.
It is another feather in your poetry cap and your writing grows from strength to strength, for the imagery you have woven is wonderful to take in and then become part of your captivating poem.
Well done and I think it certainly is one of your best.
This poem Shaun I took my time I wrote it down on paper first it took me four days to write my favorite poem and I wrote it in another Poetry site and I won Poet of the week
Greg that was four days well invested and its great to hear about taking one's time and to write it down on paper also.
And to win on that other site's honour and title of Poet of the Week, sounds more than well deserved and rightfully so.
And writing on paper is always the best way for you can cross things out and see with certain words little jump off points and seeds to take a poem elsewhere to add and embellish it or completely change course.
For you wouldn't have that with an electronic interface, for sometimes you can see those little ideas or poetry seeds to build up and steer your poem through to its conclusion, be it errors or rewritten, rejigged versions on pieces of paper that would be lost forever if using a keyboard and monitor.
Thanks again Greg and enjoy life and remain poetry blessed.
Thank you Shaun
