Friday Writings -- a (strong) secondary character point of view

(Door Knock)
I am the Raven
in a Poem named after me
I co-star in Mr. Poe's best seller
in that setting I was a pest at first
but soon I became her bosom friend
even so she never really understood me
she thought she did, read it yourself, you'll see
she lost her lover and that was her end
going bat batty trying for more
knocks on her Chamber Door
but "Quoth (me,) Raven,
"Nevermore""
persistence
ends
but I'll remain
above her Chamber Door
haunting her always
for some more

Ah, seems to me it was a sad fate for Raven as well.
Oh this seems so real.. !!
Great Choice and classic expression.
LOL the haunting made me giggle the toss up between forever more and nevermore.
Nice one
Much💜love
I honestly think it might be nice to have a raven to chat with, even if he is a bit gloomy.
Good take on Mr. Poe's poem, and a nice twist to the story.
It seems this raven is enamored with the lady. :)
Nicely toyihg with Poe's "Raven", Jim" One can't help but be drawn in.
Great take on a Poe favorite of mine!
Love this personification and the fact that the Raven knows a poem was named after it.
