Notes About The Poem
One of a bookfull of Poe like poetry I write because a beautiful poet by the name of Maya Angelou took me under her wing and gave me several tips on the writing of poetry, and to especially study the ways and means of Edgar Alan Poe, and try to get inside of the psyche of how Poe wrote. Which I indeed did, and gave it even a better effort and studied the way Maya Angelou writes and creates some of the best poetry in English ever written.
Some things that got through to my own eager mind are to forget the formalities of poetry coming from our over-educated poets who write for tenure and end up in sackfull for a dollar sales at all local libraries, but just concentrate on what the tenure poets hate, rhyme and cliche. The fact is that people love rhyme and cliche, even commercial writers everywhere use it to sell everything, and it has always worked and always will work. CALL NOW!!!
