Raven Crow

Raven Crow

A Poem by Anissa Amer
"

"
If his shade wasn't dark
Would he still be so eerie? 
If his feathers not flock
would the midnight stay dreary?

If the fog not emboss him
would his presence be so?
If he hadn't a skwak
would the ground shake below?

If his slumber clocked in the dead of night
and his feathers nix black, but a beautiful white
would people still tremble?
In mercilessness freight?

If his eyes not glow red
in the light of the moon
would his presence be weary?
would death still draw soon?

If he resembled a dove
and never a crow
would you soon show him love?
as if it'd been there to sough?

The book has always a story untold
don't sit in your judgement and see it unfold
embrace the tales, they've lied so long unknown 
All alone. With no thoughts to condone. 

Raven crow.

Thank you. I do have my own style. I like to be unique. =] Thanks for your comment.
Tis true that the raven and crow so often carries the negative interpretations that mythology has introduced. But the "what if" gives us the alternative
that maybe all writings are not stereotyped but gives a unique view.
Thanks for the poem.

Aww shucks.
true that... every single writing or work has a difference from the other. because you read one fictional book and it turned out bizarre doesnt mean that everysingle one of them is like that.
i liked it and loved the flow...

a great thought indeed

welcome so..,
True. Every story or poem or work of art has a personalized angle, etched out of the author's interior. that we never see. I enjoyed reading this, the meter and rhyme were well employed

Nice write. I like how you've defending the essence of this unique bird. They've gotten a bad rap for a long time now for some reason. I don't know why. They're pretty neat to me. I also liked the rhyming scheme and how you've gotten the reader to think about not judging a book by it's cover. Give a thing or a cause a chance first before casting quick judgements. Nice job again. :)

Thank you :D
Nice imagery. I like how you contrast the raven/crow to the dove.

Raven/Crows are actually really smart. In fact, I saw a documentary where a woman kept a crow as a pet, and the crow actually followed her car below to wherever she was going! How cool is that?

Doves are actually violent territorial birds too lol maybe I'll right a poem about that.

The only thing that threw me off a little was the rhythm as it seemed a bit irregular, but that's just the fault of my conditioned mind.

Nice stuff.
