Raven Poem by Susan Birch

Thief and harbinger,
Battlefield scavenger.
Prophesy's messenger,
Spectator of doom.
Eldritch companion
Of evil's dominion.
Trickster and shaman,
Dweller in gloom.
Winged antagonist
And War's protagonist.
Death's final herald
With dusk-threaded plume.
Sharp-eyed hawker
Of cynical laughter.
Tragedy's accomplice
From cradle to tomb.
