About This Poem

Poe and I

Poe's darkness calls to such as I, an ember,
a velvet covered wing chair's grasp on dark nights.
I seek the maudlin moan of his December
to nurse an aging form and love's lost delights.
As Poe has said, "distinctly I remember..."
his sweetest kiss and the wound he left in flight.
So, by the hearth sit such as I in shadow,  
Raven in hand by the firelight's ruddy glow.

    Cool write I also love Eager Allen Poe he wrote some of my favorite poems of all time and I think he would like your tribute to him. To be honest I know I DID.

    I love this. I used to read Poe to the kids when they were young as bedtime stories. I get a lot of different reactions to that... some good, some bad. The kids however, love to talk about it and it is some of their fondest memories.
