My Poe....m
My Poe...m

What's that raven doing on my parapet !!
I'm sure not to inspire me for a couplet
neither to caw some famed phrase
nor to offer any profound message !
The raven wasn't interested to speak to me
but never shifted it's binocular visibility
possibly it's monocular prospect was busy
afterall this old caricature wasn't worth any bawdry.
It surveyed my wisdom for long silent hours
remained mum all through barring a few caws
I wasn't ready to spill my utter nescience
confirming this celebrity fool devoid of any cognizance.
Some more minutes passed without any sound
as if world was waiting and bafflement all around
Besides a few flutters of feathers and two discreet caws
nothing really changed neither of us did any hee haws.
Finally I noticed a smirk in it's beak
closer inspection confirmed the unique
I waited eagerly for it to blurt out more
believe me!
before flying....
it cawed..... Never Poe.
