This picture absolutely suits this poem beautifully. I love Ravens, the sun flashes such pretty colors through their wings. I wish you good luck in this contest.
Blessings...

Hey Irish Rain... you are so right... Black is not black on a raven... The sun flashes blues, reds, purple throughout their body and wings. yours, diana

Comment from pome lover
this is serendipitous. I just posted a poem called The Craven, with picture of a raven. yours is good. (and much shorter.)
congratulations on being recognized and for all time best for your 5-7-5.

Hello Diana,
Great artwork that complements your poem.
I'll admit I'm no expert at poems. But I did enjoy reading yours tremendously, even if I can't help you with the technicalities of writing something like this.
Excellent work.

Hello Diana,
A fine 5-7-5 poem and homage to Edgar.
If Poe had followed this advice
his poem would have been much shorter,
would have ended abruptly in the first stanza
and been read nevermore.
Nice little bit of serenity
in the wonderful "shot" of the gravestone.
Bye, bye blackbird, well done.

Hey Robert.. Well I would never, ever pretend to touch Poe's cape hem. I'm in a flight (no pun) or flight situation... guess which one I chose.
Comment from antonieta
The poem follows well the writing prompt and the extended metaphor of death - I think so anyway as ravens are rather uncanny. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Eternal Muse
I am amazed how much can be said in three lines. Makes me think of Edgar Poe's "Raven". Excellent artistic presentation. So, Tom (treischel) helped you do the graphic with your name? (lol). Kudos to Tom!
A very delightful offering, good luck in the contest if it's still running.

Comment from Roxanna Andrews
I guess that is one way to get rid of the pesky bird. I would like to do that sometimes when they wake me up very early. How funny you found a tombstone with you name and the birds. I do hope it is not providential. =} Well done.

Hey Roxanna... Talk about serendipity. The poem wrote itself. I hope you are right... maybe it wasn't a clever idea after all.
Comment from happykat4
Enjoyed the 5-7-5 poem. Excellent use of the picture. Love that it supports the written words AND your name! So now, the birds have met Johnson's fate. Good job. Kat

Comment from judiverse
Birds are supposed to be an omen of bad luck. Your syllable count is right on track. Your last line is really effective. It startles the reader and shows the power of the gun. What did the birds do to deserve such a fate? It is interesting to speculate. Maybe the shooter sees the birds as a bad omen. Really appropriate picture to go with your poem. judi
