Yes, it's finally an update. (sigh) Sorry It's been so long, I've been pretty distracted. Yep, as I've said before, I deserve all flames I get. This poem's about- do I even have to say it? Lol. Raven. I got inspiration from listening to Evanescence's 'Listen To The Rain'on the internet, which is by the way a great song.

I GOT MY FIRST FAN DEATH THREAT!

Erm...I know it isn't something to be happy about...but oh well, I'm flattered. XD And Queenie, can I borrow Nevermore? I have...little sister troubles...to work out. AHEM. :D

Okay, lesseee, reviews:

Dark Kitsune of Ra: 30 whole chapters! 0.0 (falls down from shock) Ouch...Thanks, I like this one best too! Yeah, I'll keep the title. As for the ten chapter problem? Well, let's just say I have a REALLY bad memory and reposted chapter four. Yeah. I'm pathetic.

a dragons wings: Thanks! Publishing? O.O Wow...don't think I could, but it'd be fun. Actually, I'm hoping to get a novel published someday. I have a fantasy one of a 100 something pages but I decided against it...I don't like it very much...

Queen-of-Azarath: Lolz, you really are determined, aren't you? Simple Plan's pretty good, ever listened to Good Charlotte or Green Day? BTW, I read your poetry fic. Way to write! I WANNA DO A MONOLOGUE NOW! Actually, I was considering the idea but I decided against it. I could do a Rae/Malchior one though, if anyone's interested. ...again, thanks so much for being a faithful reader and reviewer:) Sorry you're sick, hope you get better soon...if you haven't already in the inordinate amount of time between updates. xP(hugs andsteales her cough syrup, hoping to bring back her sanity) X)

ttSerenity: Thanks:) I think that means I'm either getting better or my muse isn't so lazy anymore. Either way, good!

kuroi-tenshi-rin: Really? Thanks! So that's what Raven is in japanese? I thought it was Katashi...or something like that. Feh. I'm an anime fanatic living in america. Actually, I go by the name Raven on other websites...I don't here because I think it might be a bit confusing. Hmm. I'll have to choose another name.

alie g.: Is this good enough for you? Lol. Actually, I've never really found a contest I wanted to enter. If I could I think I might...

Hittomi: Hi, Jennifer! Thanks so much! Advice? I'd have to say listen to music, read other poetry, and think about topics you want to write about. I refuse to use the word "theme" afterhearing itin Reading class for half the school year, but just...whether it's about good versus evil, loneliness, betrayal, emotions.If you'll berhyming then arhyming dictionary is worth its weight in gold if, too,but you can get one at any Borders for ten bucks, lol. I actually lost mine a while ago, come to think of it. I have no idea why dark poetry is so awesome, but I still luv it. XD

And after that,

Rainwishes

I slip outside and stand in the rain
Just to feel like I am alive
Not in a circle of living death once again
But somewhere I can belong.

My words sound bitter but I am free
As the water soothes my battered soul
I tilt back my head and drink in the storm
As it washes away the curse of me

I am all alone, standing in the vision in my heart
The illusion of falling rain in pitch-black night
Until morning, when the sun's rays once more tear me apart
Just another demon slain by heaven's scalding light.

As I cup the rain in my hands and watch it trickle away
I feel my lonesome darkness washing off of me
I pray that I will not live to see the day
But stay here eternally, with the rain on my face
Droplets of moonlight washing away the tears of a half-breed disgrace.

Not actually in any episode, but I thought Raven would do something like that... Sorry if it's not as good as the other poems I've written, I've been trying to keep up to scratch. R&R!
