They sang on the porch, but only for my father. He found them after a summer night’s thunderstorm. One of the few memories I have of him was when he was more of a father to them than me. Or so I thought.
As the Ravens grew stronger they would take their wings out for a test drive. ‘You see my love when they are strong they will leave and not return. It’s easy to let a creature go. You, I truly love and I’m afraid one day your wings will take you away and I can’t let go.’
I’m participating in another writing prompt for Carrot Ranch. I stumbled across them when searching for sites to submit writing. I’m in love with what they are doing for writers at every level (even beginners like me). The doodle I did isn’t going to count towards my random word daily doodle.
A few fun facts:
- My father did save a pair of Ravens
- I have 2 Raven tattoos
- My spirit animal is a Raven
Captivating (doodle) artwork!

Lovely story. It must be hard for a parent when it it time for a chick to leave the nest. Love your fun facts.

It’s difficult but I remember an argument with my father and tried writing from his point of view.

Ravens feature strongly in your life! Your sketch is full of inky vibrancy and it’s reflected in your flash, too. I like that you stepped into your father’s perspective. That’s a good technique for a writer to develop.

I really liked the picture you drew! I’m not sure what my spirit animal is because I’ve never sat down to that question but if I had any say in the matter it would either be a raven or a crow. Anyway, this was my favorite story so far this week.
