The Raven Poem by Crystal Pierce

The Raven

Rating: 5.0


Blackbird high on branch.
Ugly song it sings.
But yet it keeps you in a trance,
with beady black eyes.
they stare at you,
and make you wonder just who you are.
Blackbird on a branch.
Sing to me your ugly song.

Hi Crystal, Wow! ! What a poem! ! An ocean of emotions in so little drops. Wonderful.. Blackbird high on branch. Ugly song it sings. This is how we judge others; looking at them from just one angle or hearing them without interest... Then, you realise, But yet it keeps you in a trance, with beady black eyes. they stare at you, And now comes the biggest revelation: and make you wonder just who you are. It keeps you wondering. The inevitable realisation: Blackbird on a branch. Sing to me your ugly song. Very Very insightful; profound. A little philosophical. Knocking the doors of the heart again and again! ! a 100++ -unnikrishnan

Hi Chryssa, I just remembered that you a Poe-lover. That beautiful yet intriguing poem of Edgar Allan Poe, The Raven, I just recalled. A glimpse, just a fleeting glimpse, of the Poe's raven, I am able to see in your poem too. So, I just visited Poe's raven once again. Thank you for making me do that. Thank you... Marvelous write. Do write more and share! ! ! -unnikrishnan
