10 Images of the Raven

(Haiku)

.

 

1

Black God

 

Huge cumulus clouds,

Exploding into the blue,

  .  .  .  Shadowed by raven

 

 

2

Valley Morn

 

Dark hands working fields,

Raven tracing mountain crests,

  .  .  .  Carnal tillers wake

 

 

3

Raven Spell

 

Dark sound raven makes,

Chortles top fir tree, haunting—

  .  .  .  Druids incantation

 

 

4

Unfaithful

 

Snow covers valley—

Solitary raven staining world,

  .  .  .  Love has turned black

 

 

5

Outcast

 

Many years alone,

Suddenly— old thoughts of her,

  .  .  .  Lone raven in sky

 

 

6

Mischief

 

Lone raven cackles  .  .  .

Clouds splinter across the sky,

  .  .  .  Mist cuts down the woods

 

 

7

Marked

 

Full moon crowns tall pine,

Raven landing in cross hairs,

  .  .  .  Dark angels halo

 

 

8

Loki

 

Raven knows a charm,

A child's costume jewelry,

  .  .  .  Colours a black eye

 

 

9

Tall Tale

 

Zenith of winter—

Lone raven in naked tree,

  .  .  .  Spring only legend

 

 

10

Dark Angel

 

In his feathered dress  .  .  .

Raven shrouds beneath the clouds,

  .  .  .  Even eyes are black
