The Raven's Call

By: Johnson, Samuel

As I walk along a river I hear a call.
I walk near to see what made the call.
As I walk I see a raven on a post near the big oak tree.
It looks at me in awe as I'm a god.
Alas I am not but friendly am I.
It flies on my shoulder and I ask him why.
He looks and his eyes glow red and said "SO YOU MAY DIE."
I look in shock but fear not will I and you will see why.
I telln him bow down before me fowl.
He bows and says "your power is great but not great enough let me show you.
And he shows me a sword and a beam of light shines.
He says " I am king of the river and forest you stand on and I say you shall die".
As a command from my king the raven I listen and take the sword and stick it through my heart I feel an anguish in my soul and fall.
Now I lie wondering why could I die by a fowl and not by men.
But am I dead no I GET UP AND STRIKE HIM he falls and I stab him with the sword that struck me.
He dies and I am now king of the forest.
