Twas but the night the moon did fail to shine upon the coldest stones. Upon the fall of pelting hail the silence of the telephones. A call did come upon one’s ear that brought the heart to beating cease. As one does sit in quaking fear in wait the light of dawn’s release. I sat before the fire’s dim flame in wait the morn to come to be. This fearful wait, a waiting game to see what might was meant to see. A glow of orange did shine between the crack withinn the shutters veil. Might this now be a Raven’s sheen of whence the night did come the tale. This bird of yore and darkened lore that stalks these halls in waiting tap. Can once it die and be no more to hear that eerie soulful rap? Till night becomes the dim of dawn and brings to sight beyond the eyes A bird does fly in fearful spawn One raven dark in tapping spies. A kettle calls the shrill of wait to sound alarm to waiting stew. Could this now be a raven’s fate or will again he tap anew? [This message has been edited by Magnus (10-06-2002 11:56 AM).] |

Goodmorning, Magnus. Your work is so gooooodd.....I could almost see the raven and hear it tapping at the door. You can really express your feelings. By the way, I noticed that on the 10th of this month you will have been here for a year. I know from your work and your responses from the others that you are a welcome member to this extended family of friends at Passions In Poetry. Everyone is certainly making me feel welcome, too. Everybody is so full of kindness, tenderness and love. I'm looking forward to much more of these wonderful things..... With Bunches Of Love To You All, Ethel.....Gary's Lady [in this case, is the "raven" representative of "death" ? A lot of people believe that, I think] [This message has been edited by garysgirl (10-06-2002 11:27 AM).] |

Kris, meaning?....certainly no true meaning, Just the feel.... Think of Poe, his Raven...and the mood of his poetry...just following some of the feeling of his poetry... |
