I Spy a Raven

A poem I wrote for fun and ended up using in a project for my English class last year. I call it, "I Spy a Raven".


As I ascend into the heavens
From the deep, dark depths below
Above me I spy a raven
Flying to and fro

He was a lot like I had been taught
With large dark wings and claws
In it’s arms was something caught
Soon cradled in it’s jaw

If I were the mouse I would run away far
Running away from the known
I would find a way out of my jar
The place that they call home

But sooner or later the mouse would be snatched
Brought back from where it came
Just like the mouse, they will soon catch
And do with me just the same
