A poem prompted from a raven landing in front of me, while I was writing.
Dear Raven there before me
bringing only misfortune.
Is there a way to bribe you?

Dear Raven there before me
full of mischief yet to be revealed.
Can I offer you this pendant I own?

Dear Raven there before me
bringing only sorrows still untold.
Will you be persuaded by these coins I have?

Dear Raven there before me
waiting till I ignore you to descend
Do you want these pearl earrings?

Dear Raven there before me
crossing my path, a foreboding promise.
Will you take my ring of gold?

Dear Raven there before me
Taking my loved ones away to the grave
What must I give to leave you?

Dear Raven
Here, here is my soul,take it
For I need it no more
