The Warning And The Raven
Something Wicked This Way Comes
The cawing of the raven
says it's time to check the locks
There are very few safe havens
as the time ticks on the clock
He comes to take the wicked
who have relinquished any good
no one will be acquitted
though you feel misunderstood
No one here is innocent
we all have sins to pay
So keep watch and ever vigilant
for he comes for you, today

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.

Me, Myself, and I
“Alright. Get in, get out.” “What do you mean, get in, get out? You have to buy stuff for a party!” “Yeah, but I know exactly what I need to get. None of that anxious debating between two items for who knows how long. And it’s just stuff for French bread pizza. The others are bringing the rest of the stuff. And I already got the cheese at the other store. Man, I was lucky there was a sale!”

Love this moody, creepy poem.
Why do ravens get such a bad rep? Worthy of Poe, Kelli. Worthy of Poe.
An epic warning! So dark, deep and true!
Very well written!
I love this, beautifully constructed and just the right amount of creepy 😁
Noon, I'm not ready. Well done, my friend
OOOHHHH YES! This feels like a children's fable seasoned with Poe. I applaud this. Well done!
Wow, I love this! Poetic and ominous!
