When my Raven comes
he often sits on my ledge
perched in the middle of my open window
my cypress tree behind him in the background
it's quite a site to see
sandwiched in as he stares at me
sometimes in the mist of morn, as the sun arrives
other times arriving with the blazing sunset
after a burning hot day, nature quenching its thirst
he comes to listen to the music of a very bad violin
playing out of tune, oddly he seems to love it
I keep my window open purely for him
he is my guest
and as the violin continues to play
and believe me
when I use the word play, incredibly loosely
I imagine my Raven to be stone-deaf?
because if he isn't
he is definitely encouraging the death of Mozart
and in that case
I’d know, he has a very dark personality
and simply cannot be trusted
because someone, somewhere
very close by
Is killing Mozart.

Such a way with words! Excellent opener to the week. Be blessed🕊️🙏🏻
Hello dear arqios, very kind of you, looks like it may be a very long week. Thank you Sir. 🌹
We are here the whole week when time allows... so there should be some refuge be it brief. Things could still turn around albeit in a meandering fashion 🕊️🙏🏻
I don't think that anyone can kill him anymore since I am sure I did as a kid when I too the violin. No one that does not have perfect pitch should play it, without frets it requires a discerning ear and perfect spatial perception and I have neither. A wonderful write Teddy and it reminds me of how music is often my muse so closely associated with poetry and emotion.
Thank you my dear sorrenbarrett, I also have a next door neighbour who is trying to kill me with her terrible violin 🎻 😆 lol
Ah. Love how death fits into this and the twisted and, need I say, brilliant ending! Indeed, I think I must have been near by. My ears are still bleeding! 🩸🤣 Wonderful job, Teddy. Love this. A fave for sure! 🌹👏
Like cats wining 🤣 it's all too much even the dogs howl. Thank you dear Tristan. 🌹
LOL! 😂 Yeah, dogs are sensitve to sound...particularly high pitched whining! LOL! You are most welcome, dear friend.
Brilliant work, sweet Teddy.
My neighbour must never know about this particular scribble 🤣 thank you my sweet Thomas. 🌹
