Top 500 Edgar Allan Poe Quotes (2025 Update) - QuoteFancy

Writing is compulsion and yearning within, for me a longing that I cannot ignore; and in my nightly dreams words weave and begin, I start to write and enter a magic door. Driven by deep thirst and hunger I will write, hours and hours slip away till I have it right; mountains of discarded papers pile on rug, as words embrace me in a poetic hug. Penning words is my passion and obsession, there is a joy to etch my words on paper; to not write would mean for me sad depression, ideas must be penned or become vapor. I have an infatuation for the dark, a cemetery will always make words spark; have an intensity for poets of old, their poetry has great wisdom to enfold. In nature my hair is a streaming river, as I watch clouds sailing across the blue sky; the beauty of nature makes my pen quiver, a flowing stream and birds singing makes me sigh. And sitting still in natures decay are threads, and where my poetic pen quietly treads; like a child in prayer I find the right word, then, the cacoethes soars like a wild bird

This is a terrific poem. You've put into words something I have been striving to reveal to others. Poets never lack for words. My heart skips a beat. Well done.
