Edgar Allan Poe

Maverick Free Verse Contest

Edgar allan poe
The master of all horror
He makes you think
He makes you gasp
He makes you worry

He's the master of all
Poetry
The wizard of all
Short stories
That send chills down your spine

After reading you look
Over your shoulder
Always watching
For goblins and ghouls
Threatening to haunt

He can makes his readers
Beileve in the impossible
And imagine the extraordinary
Go to the edges of the mind
And get to your very core

His readers are rained on
With thought-provoking problems
Horrific images of murders
Broken hearts searching for
The ones they lost

He was troubled
But a genius
Weird 
But incrediably talented
His writing unriveled

No one could compete
No one wanted to
No one would dare to challenge him
For they knew he would win
There was no point

All to soon he died
Shrouded in mystery
Envoloped by darkness
Never seen again
Completely gone crazy

Perhaps he is living out
His stories....
Walking among who he created
Looking for his lost loves
And a way to start a new life
Among his creations!

R.I.P. Edgar Allan Poe. You certainly were an amazing addition to american authors.
