The Raven The Raven stops here every day To check the changes of my stay Each stays a little closer look With added quotes made in his book He checks my eyes my tongue and nose And notes his book of all the woes He shuts his eyes and taps his beak And shakes his head but does not speak He ogles me my walk and moans The creaking of my weary bones He sets it on a mental scale In black and white and great detail He looks into the sky to gage The time and process of old age And then he winks a wink of sorrow Flies away until tomorrow But he’ll be back the first of grey The Raven stops here every day |

We have many ravens near where I live and I always amazed at their size. They are awesome birds. It's nice to read your words again, Seymour and I hope all is well in your life. Take care.......Sue I am in motion |

Suetang I've seen the Raven and he is a large bird and clever too. It's just a poem, I'm ok. Thanks for the read and comment. Earth Angel It's a good symble and a descriptive one. Glad you enjoyed the write. |
