Craven's Song

Sorrow and bones on the ground

The dust spinning my face.

craven start to sing on my window.

The fog won the battle

with view of the sun

took by storm.

The bones are all around

on the green grass

The cravens are still singing

and keeps the field of death

Few alive eyes,

are looking for the nightingales.

Where are they.

Why they are not singing...

Just song by the cravens.

Oh there is no time.

Too long song...

The bones are going under ground.

The opened eyes are closing...

Sorrows, Death, cravens on the field

and tearful eyes watching

by the window.

Aleksandra,

 

You know this is one of my favorite poems of yours. The imagery is bleak -- reminiscent of that first scene in Dr. Zhivago (the burial scene) -- and the expressions are melancholic and lovely. My favorites:

songs of sorrow

 

Hello Alek,

 

 

What a melancholy tone your poem has - is this bird and its song a harbinger of ominous news? But th epoet already seems immersed in visions of death, burial, the end of the physical body, while the spirit and what remins of it after the assaults in life is weighted down by this sorrowful song in the heart.

 

 

Nature here offers no solace - the poet's pain and sadness echo in everything around her:

Poignant and beautifully expressed.

Thank you a lot goldenlangur for your such a beautiful comment. Yes these kinds of birds are bringing bad news, they are known as messengers for bad news. And thats why I used cravens, and I had problems with this word, because in English language is more used - ravens and it is not same bird.

And the melancholy tone is the right sense what I wanted to give in this poem

 

Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me.

I think I must agree with Tony...so reminescent of Dr. Zhivago. It is a favorite movie of mine.

Hi aleks, I love the images of this poem....

 

My favorite lines

The fog won the battle

with view of the sun

took by storm.

 

Sadness permeates this poem. I want to send you a bluebird, the bird of happiness, to chase the cravens away.

Ah Tinker you are so kind and so sweet. Thank you my dear. I need different " birds " around me, different messengers, so the bluebird will be just fine

 

Thank you so much for your lovely comment.
