Love it on so many levels...

The Poe-lymer Raven

Once upon a weekend dreary, I decided (not thinking clearly)
That it would be *fun* to create a raven.
So I started, mad clay chopping, till my eyes were nearly popping
Making feathers, my blade lopping, lopping blocks of clay.
“’Tis not so fun,” I muttered, “Chopping big blocks of clay—
But it’ll become a raven—

Someday.”

Hour after hour, I stood bird-shaping, furiously, my mouth gaping,
I made hundreds of black feathers, then made hundreds more.
From tail to head, I applied each feather, curious as it came together
(Paint and silver paste added weather.)
And a black raven emerged--not there before!
Its head cocked, and eyes beseeched me, “Making feathers you adore?!”

Quoth the Artist, “Nevermore!” ;-)
