Why Ravens Have Wings (Serious Poem)

http://www.fictionpress.com/s/2565858/1/Why_Ravens_Have_Wings

CURIOSITY;

Have you ever paused and wondered why,

Have you ever thought to think and try,

Have you ever had to stop and cry,

Have you ever seen the raven fly?

WONDER;

Have you ever just sat down to sigh,

Have you ever had to tell a lie,

Have you ever climbed a tree so high,

Have you ever seen the raven fly?

LIMITATION;

Have you ever just wanted to die,

Have you ever felt your skin was dry,

Have you ever looked into the sky,

Have you ever seen the raven fly?

LOVE;

I have always paused and wondered why,

I have always had to tell a lie,

I have always looked into the sky,

And yes, I have seen the raven fly.

ADVENTURE;

I have often felt my skin was dry,

I have often climbed a tree so high,

I have often thought to think and try,

And I, too, have seen the raven fly.

WISDOM;

I have seldom just sat down to sigh,

I have seldom had to stop and cry,

I have seldom just wanted to die,

And I, too, have seen the raven fly.

SECRETS;

What will happen when you always lie,

What will happen when you often try,

What will happen when you seldom cry,

Then, will you still see the raven fly?

DESIRE;

I see that you seldom wish to die,

I see you often climb trees so high,

I see you always look to the sky,

Then, you must have seen the raven fly.

CLOSURE;

In the end, your skin is often dry,

In the end, you will sit down and sigh,

In the end, you'll always wonder why,

Then, you will have seen the raven fly.

I really like how you articulate your poem. It was very nice. It gave it character, and was easier to relate to than if you had just read it all monotously. good job
