I am conducting this review as part of my weekly challenge in "I Write in December-January-February" . Remember that the thoughts expressed here are the opinions of only one person. It is up to you, the writer, to determine, which advice to take. Hopefully my thoughts on your writing are helpful.

First thoughts
Upon first reading this poem, I appreciated the dark aspects of the poem, especially the references to Poe.

Imagery
The descriptive words used match the image well. Since Ravens typically symbolize darker things, "creation of ravens" sets the the pace for the poem. In stanza two, "Now wrapped tight in winters breath" seems to be expressing the preservation of nightmares, frozen in time.

Poetic elements
This is a free verse that uses enjambment. From my perspective, line breaks are done well.

There is no rhyme, but the last two lines use assonance with "signpost" and "crows", which help these lines flow. Honestly, I'm a sticker for poetry needing another poetic element other than line breaks and stanzas. So I would have liked to have seen more use of assonance.

Mechanics
"winters breath"- Winter's breath (possessive noun and seasons should be capitalized)

"Hells boughs"- Hell's boughs

Final thoughts
Being a fan of dark poetry, I liked the dark symbolism. Your descriptions matched the image prompt well.

When you get around to editing, let me know so that I can up my rating according to repairs. Thank you for sharing your writing.
