Raven
stood there
atop the white cross
against cerulean sky
stretching its feathers
so proud, carefree
couldn’t see
thoughts I was thinking
“quoth the raven, nevermore”
could he be saying
without betraying
He is not here,
they took Him down,
please do not frown
for He stands
at the
door
and knocks

Oh, I love this!! The Raven has always been one of my favorites.

Well done!

Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats

A new spin on a old poem I like it

Don't ever give in, if you do you've lost everything you've ever had and everything you hope to gain, but if you carry on your already winning.
