IC Who UR Now

IC Who UR Now

ICUR                  highly intelligent (and looking the part)

                        in your distinguished black robe, deeply

                        croaking out judgements, “R-R-ROCK.”

ICUR                  a massive, hefty-billed, shaggy-throated,

          thinner-fingered, diamond-tailed version

          of your smaller, raspy-voiced relatives.

ICUR                  not merely a methodical flapper, but given

                        to graceful glides and slow strokes while

                        soaring, plus an occasional two-footed hop.

ICUR                  highly flexible in your living and dining habits;

                        nearly anywhere or anything will do, but you

                        do it alone (or with just a partner) most of the time.

ICUR                  a literary figure – famous in folklore,

                        poetry, and tribal trickster mythology.       

                  What do you make of your fame?

ICUR                  Corvus Corax – common raven by

                        name and numbers only.  You're

                        really not common at all; you r-r-rock!

I started out wanting to learn more (and write) about crows, but I got more and more interested in ravens as I did some research.  I think I can tell them apart, now.  How about you?
