Notes About The Poem

Perhaps, A Poem Poetry Contest- Sponsor- John Lawless

A Poe- Perhaps

Lo! Death bestowed its final blow 
Ye saddened thoughts- can't let them go 
Perhaps, a poem... perhaps, a Poe 
Will raise thy head, from lying low

I delight in poems of lost love but soon I'll turn to fantasy. Whether they like that or not is to seen.

This is clever and evocative. The play on words with Poe and the rhythm of reflection gives it a haunting, thoughtful tone. Thank you for sharing this with us.
