I was beyond excited when I saw "Raven" as the prompt and knew immediately it would be about Huginn and Muninn! I love Norse mythology so much. It may not fit into horror, but I couldn't help it.

Feaster after war

Sharp bills drink eyes of the dead

Glutted with pale flesh

“Raven’s feast” is my favorite kenning for battle. The image of these big black birds picking a battlefield clean is so chilling. Nicely done.

In darkness they soar

An unkindness of ravens

To mock Poe’s spent soul

Poor Poe😔 He never got the success he deserved. Lovely little ode.

Raven dark hair,

My beloved turns from me

And whispers, Wake up.

Know then, in darkness

The one-eyed man is waiting

Ravens ride his soul
