Raven’s falling

Dawn withered and dusk arose

Light fades as darkness grows

Raven mounted his black mare

Spurring into the forest, he did not dare

For rumours jump in and out of ears

Of a terrible creature, who all should fear

His domain lies within the great forest

The countrymen swore to leave him, they promised

But the Raven did not keep his truce

And trotted onwards towards the spruce

Trees glared at him from either side

Looming over him, bidding him goodbye

Rocks parted to either side

Paving him a way to the creature’s domicile

Finally, a cavern appeared to his eyes

He looked up to stare at its grand size

Warnings encrusted onto its large walls

The light dims as the night falls

To his belief he saw no creature

And mocked it aloud about its features

Then it hissed then snarled and growled

Pouncing onto its prey with plenty of foul

Gossip spread about the Raven’s falling

They found his belief quite appalling
