Chan The Man I don't think me, Ricky or Tommy would be able to revive you if you met Poe and he said something nice about your poetry. LOL Nice job Hugs Thanks for another insightful but sad comment on my Disappearing poem.

I wouldn't know how to react if someone like Edgar Allan Poe told me that my poetry was great! I would be ecstatic and speechless! Poe is the reason that I became interested in poetry. So, gaining the approval from such a master would really mean that I've done something. Excellent work, I really loved this poem!

My sentiments exactly, which is what I really wanted to capture, just that thought of him possibly saying he enjoys my work. I have such a reverence for him, Shelley and Dickinson, that if any one of them were to say such a thing to me, I would die and go to that "Poet's Heaven" lol. Thanks for the review, hon :)

Your rhyme and rhythm is impeccable Archaic. I totally agree with your lovely sentiments expressed. I would feel on top of the clouds if someone like Poe liked my poetry also. Wishing you a wonderful day ahead and I await eagerly to read your next post Archaic...always.

You just made my day, my friend :D I have a gigantic book of Poe's collected work (over 1,000 pages!) and I was reading his thoughts on the "Poetic Principle" last night and was just immediately inspired to write that after reading it. Thanks for the support and encouragement, Mustapha :)
