If Raven Was to Come Today

Teddy.15

If Raven was to come today

I'd tell him I don't wish to play
 
you see he comes to me as grief 
today I have not one fresh reef 
 
today the sun, the sun does shine
I do not wish to cry by shrine
the snow is far
the sun, suffice
no freezing winds no breaking ice 
 
just calm and warmth 
a peaceful day 
I'll let my grief just rest and lay
 
if Raven was to come today
I'd tell him I don't wish to play.

        "Who's that tapping at my door? Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore." The symbolism for grief in your poem is quite strong. I hope you're feeling OK. Your poem made me feel sad. - Phil A.

          Dearest Phil, it should have had the opposite effect my friend, as I didn't let my grief overcome me today. Thank you for coming by. I am very well, I have a series of poems about my Raven it's a project of love. Thank you my dear friend. 🌹
