The raven sings
of wicked things
of killer claws and blackened wings
but I know where the raven cries
because the light inside his eyes
reflected me
reflected me
reflected bluebird blue-filled skies
where secrets graze in compromise
so many things
the raven sings
he sings, he sings, he sings, he lies.
In a list
Please tell me what you think

Very good. I especially like the line- "where secrets graze in compromise." Very nice. I like the feeling you're trying to get across her. Keep it up.

Had to check it out.
Don't usually leave comments with this account, but I was doing some maintenace stuff and I saw this and I had to check it out.
I think I may have to read this a few more times to get the flow to sound right in my head, but even without that, it was very enjoyable.
Too bad you didn't pen it for the contest... would have made a nice companion work.
Best wishes,

man has no control over ravens. thats why he sings lies. now think of the dogs of god......

I am not a fan of rhyming. There are a very few poets around here (Who rhyme) are my favorites.
A-bear is one of them. Anyway, coming back to your piece, think you have a strong messege to pass to the readers. This reflects self-contradiction- that we all possess. Keep penning!

Ooh, the return of the sapphire soul.
I like the use of a common, or typical, subject with the usual Greg twist. Great job with the ryhme scheme.
