Edgar Allan Poe

Maverick Free Verse Contest Edgar allan poe The master of all horror He makes you think He makes you gasp He makes you worry He's the master of all Poetry The wizard of all Short stories That send chills down your spine After reading you look Over your shoulder Always watching For goblins and ghouls Threatening to haunt He can makes his readers Beileve in the impossible And imagine the extraordinary Go to the edges of the mind And get to your very core His readers are rained on With thought-provoking problems Horrific images of murders Broken hearts searching for The ones they lost He was troubled But a genius Weird But incrediably talented His writing unriveled No one could compete No one wanted to No one would dare to challenge him For they knew he would win There was no point All to soon he died Shrouded in mystery Envoloped by darkness Never seen again Completely gone crazy Perhaps he is living out His stories.... Walking among who he created Looking for his lost loves And a way to start a new life Among his creations! R.I.P. Edgar Allan Poe. You certainly were an amazing addition to american authors.
