My Poe....m

My Poe...m

somĀ©


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.
