Ranting and Raven

What's Great About Yeats

Raven

Things we say
But do not mean
Truth or dare
Game of life
Tossing dice
Coming up
Snakeyes
Crapping out
Rolling thunder
From down under
Shiver and shake
Brutal earthquake
Groping for chakra
Spinal tap
Inner oasis
Crossing deserts
Dates and tea
Beneath
Shading trees
Burning sands
Blistered feet
Dude ranch
Tenderfoot
Keemosabbe
Not so savvy
Queen for a day
Tears of joy
Bathed in bathos
Crocodile weeps
For Byzantium
Shimmering gold
Breaching leviathan
Swarthy Levantine
Ripping magic carpet
Out from under
Legerdemain
Rending asunder
Shredded sails
Catch no breeze
Cast adrift
Painted oceans
Marooned
Lost souls
Down under
Evermore
