More poetic offerings for the dead blog of the day ... a superb series of poems entitled Two Ravens by an author calling himself Two Ravens Whispered. This blog was submitted by Autolycan Catalyst, who says:
"The author completed his poem cycle/creative writing experiment. It has an interesting structure and is quite dead, being complete. Read through it and enjoy!"
Betty has read the cycle and is impressed by the elegant metaphors sustained throughout ... in the first verse, the two ravens are revealed as thought and memory, neglected by those who chose to live only through 'perception and action' leading to a repetition of error. The reader is drawn into the conversation between Huginn and Muninn as they discourse on humanity, its frailties and strengths. The verse is tender as it is satiric:
"M: (fondly) My dear, black helicopters are not half as scary as you are to mortals. Even now."
Don't miss this wonderful series, to which Betty will return for further appreciation over time.
