                                        The
                              Ever hungry crow,
                Feathers glistening with their
       Luscious black sleekness,   hovering
From                     up high, like a grim omen of
                                  Death, Destruction and mayhem
                               Beautiful creatures despite the fears
                             The lonely victim's only company a distant
                            Silhouette they can see from where they've
                            Fallen, collapsed on the ground from absolute
                              Exhaustion, of trying to be strong, of staying
                                In the bright lights of the world. The eye of the
                                  Crow glints in the moonlight, as black as the
                                     Starless night it inhabits naturally, its wings
                                      Like long shadows cast as the sun sets. Its   
                                        Beak and talons finish off its look,the beak so
                                             Cruelly curved and dangerous ton impale
                                                 Flesh and rip it from the bone. The crow
                                                     Should represent many things in my eye,
                                                          Companies extorting innocent people,
                                                            The                Fallen soldiers, a  weapon  
                                                          To                   Destroy and the last  friend    
                                                        For                 The      Soul. Remember when
                                        You next see         Its lonely         Form. Think of all the
                                                                                                   People it can some
                                                                                                        How symbolise,
                                                                                                         Those who can
                                                                                                           Scream at the
                                                                                                            Approaching
                                                                                                                      Eternal
                                                                                                                          Dark
Another poem i tried to shape. not sure how it will turn out but please comment on it.
Where can pieces of poetry like this be posted? should it be in the visual section which doesn't allows it or just get left in the open section ? Is this a poem or is it a form of art?

Main question : Does the shape add or detract from the poem itself?
