In the depth of midnight
When the darkness swallows the moon
A bird soars above, he is called The Raven
His feathers shine with a green tint
His claws sharper than knives
He turns his head, below him something moves
He crows loudly and dives into the trees
His prey, a mouse, sits frozen in fear
He sees himself in his murderers yellow eyes
The Raven, talons flexed, is inches from the mouse
The claw hits the mouse, ripping the skin
But still the mouse scurries into the dark
The Raven cries in defeat and returns to the sky
He spends all his nights long after searching
And yet the prey is gone
He waits for his moment
His revenge

Good ideas and all, but just work on the delivery. You do slip into cliches now and then, such as:
His claws sharper than knives

That's an extremely common simile. Try something refreshing. I really like the
When the darkness swallows the moon

That really set the scene. Overall, nice work, just substitute some of the unoriginal lines for something more interesting.

Well...I couldn't think of a metaphor for something sharp so that line was kind of as a last resort.
And I think I get what you are saying about the ending but I'm not totally sure..

Good discriptions. I could picture the Raven in my mind which is good since you're talking about an animal and some people can't discribe things that well in a poem.
