Raven (Poem by Mark Borne)

Image
By
Author's Note: Honestly, I think this is one of my best poems ever. See if you guys can figure this one out: it's got a lot of trick words/phrases!

 Fly, fly, my little Raven,
Reach, reach for the sky.
See the world from the air,
My little Raven, and show it to me.
It's a big world, little Raven,
But I promise I'll find always find you.

Fly, fly, my little Raven,
Reach, reach for the stars.
Let their beauty surround you,
My little Raven, and tell it to me.
The sky has no limit, little Raven,
And I promise you'll be free.

Fly, fly, my little Raven,
Come back, come back to me.
Be watching over my shoulder,
My little Raven, and please guide me.
The world is cruel, little Raven,
Yet I'll always protect you.

Fly, fly, my clever Raven,
It's time, it's time for us to part.
Find the next little Raven,
My clever Raven, and help them grow.
I can no longer be here, clever Raven,
But you know where to find me.

    I LOVE THIS! It should totally be a song! This is so beautiful! AHRGGG I can't express how amazing it is!

    I love the lines "It's a big world, little Raven, but I promise I'll find always find you."

    tbh, I just realized all my favorite lines are the last two of each verse! They're such heavy hitters and have such nostalgia for like no reason that i can find attached to them

    SO GOOD

      I picture it having a vibe like "Hello My Old Heart" by the Oh Hellos

      It is! I love the big world contrasted against the little Raven!

      YOU'RE WELCOME

My Talent (Poem by Mark Borne)

By
Many places, I've come to know, People of different cultures, too; They all have their thing, Something that they can do, But not me, not yet, My talent has yet to show up. I write and write, plots And twists and poems and Even the rare favorite of The readers I've lured And ensnared in my blog. Yet deep inside, I force myself To write the words that meet The lines of text and thoughts. Then I turn to run, and Find the wind upon my face As I escape my life, But it always catches up, And the worries I face Distract me, making the Outside world obsolete. Even in reading, I find Myself buried in stories That show misfortune in the Lives of fictional characters, Directly only to do as they Were told by the writer. And yet, in stories there is a Beauty unmatched by reality, A world that eventually Results in kindness and Peace and excitement. And being in those worlds, If only for a mere moment, Is my hobby. If only I could Be the character in the ...

Nexus Mad Libs

I assume most of you are familiar with what Mad Libs are. Basically, you're given a bunch of blanks to fill in, and you do so without knowing what the story is. Each blank has a part of speech labeling it, and that blank needs something that fits the part of speech. For example: Adjective: ________ --> Adjective: Explosive In the end, we usually have a hilarious end result that makes no sense whatsoever. One example is this (which is a real result I got once with my siblings): "Another way to help you fall asleep faster is drinking a nuclear glass of warm vinegar ." First, let's go over some rules. Obviously, keep it family friendly. This still goes for all blog content. Do not submit two words in a row. Submit one, and when someone else does one, you may do another. Submit through comments. That'll make it easier for me to assemble the final result. The category is Medieval Heroes . Here are the blanks: Adjective: Constipated (Kyra) Per...
