Black Feathers
Black feathers in the breeze
Soaring over mountains seas
Taming wind in perfect ease
He flips in mid-air as a tease
And I wonder if a raven sees
And if perhaps he hears my pleas
I down here and on my knees
Whispering lift me with you please
I'll trade you cheese
Soaring over mountains seas
Taming wind in perfect ease
He flips in mid-air as a tease
And I wonder if a raven sees
And if perhaps he hears my pleas
I down here and on my knees
Whispering lift me with you please
I'll trade you cheese

Author's Note
I believe that the raven is not only highly intelligent
and the most skillful flyer of all
but that he has magical qualities to him
I am not prone to envy, but watching a black feathered friend
soaring above me, doing mid-air-flips even, happily cawing,
I only wish I was flying with him

Ravens are just cool! And so mysterious. I've seen their nest full of shiny bobbles, tin foil and colored yarns. And a strange sight of hundreds lined up on telephone lines and top of buildings, cawing in unison while watching a distressed Raven stuck in string hanging from a a telephone line. Nice smooth rhymes first read through. Great imagery! Nicely done! And you share my daughter's birthday! Happy Birthday! Hope it was a grand one!
I appreciate your comment. In ages past, ladies were advised not to place a precious item by an open window, the black rascal would surely snatch it.
This I know from experience, do well by ravens and they will do well by you, they will also teach their chicks the same.
You daughter is a Valentine child,
that means she is very special :-)
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it
