The ink of sky engulfs my dream While night’s cinder darkens the shore, And tattered leaves pivot midstream To infect my grief much like before. Dreary this roam, this roam so cold Attended by a tree's limp veil; Like ghastly air with woes untold Of slumber deep, his tomb, my nail. In a gush, a mist blots the view; As forceful winds begin their howl His shadow appears, to pursue My lonely cry, as weeds befoul. Oh those grim eyes wail down on me, Unto our shore bleak as debris. ................ Contest for Edward Ebbs submitted 1/24/2016 Only for those NA's Contest Poem entered 12/15/2016

Powerful and expressive - a talent that sure sounded Poe-ish to me. A great poem, Nette ... CayCay

This is an awesome piece of writing!! It is without a doubt one of your best poems, Nette. "And tattered leaves pivot midstream" - "Attended by one hawks thin veil"...Brilliant!! Beautiful lines inspired by a keen eyes natural observational curiosity. This should be published...It is simply sensational!! My warmest regards and best wishes, Nette. :) john

Wow, I am silenced by this brooding, Poe-piercing poem. The line " Of slumber deep, his tomb, my nail," riles me up.
