Ravens
Poetic Thoughts-Myths, R.R. Hannaman
A part in history and myth
They played well in
Their inky, black wings
Stain the pages of humans’
Connective stories
Once as heralds to
A Wise and wandering God
King Odin
God of poets and knowledge
Heralds they were
Of Memory and Thoughts
Which they whispered to him
At days end.
In Greece, oracles of fortunes
Messengers of fate
Good or ill
Sat too upon the Sun God
As scavengers
An ill-begotten omen
Clings to them.
Messengers of ill-fate
Dark muse of tragic writer
looming upon a bust
-quoted, ‘Nevermore’-
Famed poem quilled
By tragic author
Its message and shadow
Lingers
Into modern day
Still inspires.
