Raven and Wolf

Wolf went for a walk in the woods
When dusk was falling like a hood
It cloaked the land in darkness grim
While moonlight shimmered, soft and dim
Suddenly whizzing past her head
Black wings unfurled in obsidian dread
Raven was standing in her path
His black eyes gleaming with spirals of death
'What do you want?" Wolf dared to inquire
The raven just gazed at Wolf with desire
'This is my territory now,' he said
'So leave and go back to your own stead'
'Never,' said Wolf, her eyes full of spite
'I go where I please, you creature of night.
I'm bigger than you, and I'm stronger and meaner
So back where you came from, before I eat you for dinner!'
So the raven lifted up his wings
And gave a song I dare not sing
And a cloud of darkness descended down
Cloaking wolf in an obsidian gown
The ravens pricked at poor Wolf's fur
Then they lifted her with a mighty whir
So Wolf was flying over the ground
Over the moon and over the clouds
So Wolf lifted her muzzle and let out a howl
'All right, it's your land, can you please let me down?'
So with one mighty caw the ravens let go
And Wolf plummeted down through the sky and the snow
She landed in a tree and glanced around
'Now how will I climb on down?'
And from up above the ravens mocked her
So poor Wolf sat in branches asunder
