by Ed Higgins
85% extra dark cocoa:
biting into bitter darkness
hard-eyed ravens
lurking and noticeable
grooming somber feathers
waiting
calculating my taking another bite.

Author's Note
Oh, my, hate dark chocolate--give me milk chocolate anytime (prefer Hershey's with almonds). The poem's in a recent Cacti Fur, Jim Thompson, Editor (January 1, 2018).

Try it mixed with dates. The ravens go nuts.
Enjoyed.
Hmmm...eating chocolate will never be the same!
Ravens have far too much time on their hands. Soon, we'll see them at Starbucks
--but would any portion of a raven chocolate-covered be edible?
Must be fine work to raise such a question.
I like the dark, but nonetheless, understand what is said.
Good imagery in a small space.
