Salty Dog Blues N Roots PodcastRAVEN Blues N Roots - Salty Dog (December 2024)Salty Dog's RAVEN Podcast, December 2024
I asked AI to write me a poem about Ravens and the Salty Dog Podcast, here's the word salad, ha ha:
Under a sky of shadowed hues,
Fly the ravens, with tales to choose.
Their wings, a whisper, a velvet tune,
Carrying secrets to the moon.
And down below, where roots run deep,
Salt dogs howl, and stories seep.
In bluesy growls, the podcast sings,
Of buried truths and ghostly rings.
A crossroads where the wild meets lore,
Ravens above, and salt dogs roar.
In every note, a mystery blooms,
Echoing through the timeless rooms.
