DISCLAIMER: Inspired by The Raven by Edgar Allen Poe.
DISCLAIMER II: Sorry I’ve been a bit lax on quick-writes this month, I’m working on a story for September in the time I have off work. In the meantime, enjoy this short poem.
One day as I was sitting writing Softly then I heard a scratching, As of someone gently pawing, Pawing at my chamber door.
Wearily I rose from sitting As this fiend kept me from napping And so slowly I was walking that it seemed an hour more To admit this beast behind my door.
So softly it came padding Across the page where I was writing That my words became so fuddled as to be forgotten lore. Now my weariness was growing And my temper short to showing That I urged the fiendish feline to exeunt behind my door.
Weeping for my ruined lore I surely shut and locked the door And whispered to the faintest scratching, "Enter here, now nevermore."
