	Quoth the Raven

                                               Quoth the Raven

                                             By:  Alicia Maxwell

Raven sat there in the corner

On a cold midnight in November

He sat there with a blank expression

His sanity a long-lost possession

Raven sat there holding a Raven

A fowl as fearful as himself- no bit craven

They sat there quiet and still

Raven reached out and touched the bird

I cringed slightly when a growl I heard

The raven bit its master

Raven released it all the faster

Then he murmured flatly-

                   "Nevermore."

"Pardon?" I looked down at the fellow

And with a smile oh so mellow

He responded-

                   "Nevermore."

Raven behaved in such a manner

That fear did overcome my entire matter

Then I did suddenly remember

He had wanted me dead since we met last December

Did he mean I would live nevermore?

"Nevermore," he said again

With a most smug grin

His menacing grin did ease

Yet he continued to tease

He chuckled, "Nevermore."

"Enough!  Enough!  Let me be!" I cried.

"He is no human but a demon," thought I.

His presence just as frightful as the raven by his side

Raven smiled evilly and raised a knife to his eyes

                   "Nevermore."

"I beg of you Raven!"

"Do not be so craven!

"It is merely death that awaits you- nothing more!

"You will see her nevermore."

"Fiona," I instinctively thought

Many a horrid vision I fought off

What would Raven do to Fiona?

Oh that beautiful blushing maiden who the gods themselves had named Fiona!

Once again did Raven speak-

                   "Nevermore."

Deep into my chest with the knife he plunged

And so quickly he had it expunged

That I was scarcely sure

Until I fell bleeding to the floor

He was right-

                   I saw her nevermore.
