A three-stanza haiku based on the prompt "raven"_ won second place in Haiku Weekly.

The Ravens of War,

pecking at innocent men,

with their hungry beaks.



Eating carcasses

voraciously drinking blood

to satisfy thirst.



Hoarse clarion calls,

glossy black plumage soaked in

blood, trickling down death!
