Based on the ravens found at the Tower of London:
Ravens of the Tower by Michael Romani To most, a raven is a raven is a raven A bird of some mystery and a little craven But simply a bird as any bird Despite being made famous in poetic word Sometimes seen as a Gods, messengers and protectors Other times as harbingers and slight tricksters Our estimation rendered in words we've spoke Will never really match the low guttural croak Ravens possess fierce intelligence behind dark eyes Their ice pick beaks and shaggy necks hold this surprise But none so magical as those at the Tower of London Where many a watcher's heart has been undone Beguiling, fascinating and filled with amusement The corvids watch us back with willful bemusement Like the British themselves, they need both love and freedom They also need a certain degree of focused protection This particular species of Mother Nature's child Is difficult to observe and study in the wild When kept as pets, the become children and friends Lived with like psychotic toddlers loving to upend The mythos of the raven is one of beautiful contradiction They be loving, friendly, curious renditions But, they are also birds of well deserved darkness and gore The wide spanning minds of ravens are often focal to our lore Ravens like soldiers cleave to social hierarchy It's no wonder they so readily symbolized monarchy Woe betide should the ravens ever leave the tower It might just be or lead to the kingdom's final hour (c) September 25, 2018 Michael Romani All Rights Reserved
