Bird 12 - The Black Spots In The Blue Skies Poem by Geeta Radhakrishna Menon

Bird 12 - The Black Spots In The Blue Skies

Rating: 5.0


Am I not a ravenous raven?
Crowing my heart out!
Famished and depraved,
Of love and compassion
From the humankind!

I am black - pitch black,
As dark as the night,
I can boast of no colours,
My feathers are thick and glossy,
Nothing to rave about!

O Yeah! I am just a black crow,
Cawing and cawing,
Ugly and uncouth
With no style or fashion sense,
No glitter - no glamour!

But listen folks! When I fly
I do not fly alone like a lone ranger,
I fly with my kith and kin,
A flock in unison
Together and jovial!

I have a voracious appetite,
And may gobble food like a glutton,
But shall I share a secret?
I carry around virtuous souls,
On a ride in the blue skies!

This black spot carries the virtual soul in the blue sky, God created everything with its own beauty and purpose.. Nice poem

I have a voracious appetite, And may gobble food like a glutton, But shall I share a secret? I carry around virtuous souls, On a ride in the blue skies! .......touching expression with a nice theme. Beautifully painted. A brilliant poem on bird especially on crow expressing brotherhood has been astutely presented.10

A nature lover sees beauty in all creatures, but it takes a great poet to paint the beauty for others to see. If ravens can read, they will sing their praises for you. Thanks Geeta

Thank you and bless you Loke. Hope the Ravens read my poem. But i wonder, how many will tolerate if the Ravens begin to sing my praises? ? ?
