He had a very prolific imagination. That's a very important thing any writer needs to succeed in the business.

Russell, Edgar Allen Poe, is my all time favorite insane human-man-iac Poet~ Alcoholism they say took him.., what ever it is or was, I'm a poet who holds my ways and poetry with much pride. Because of him. I do not mind his artistic ways... I know many poets call him a foe.. oh well, adding this fine Clerihew to my favorites poems. Love it! Love it! Always & Forever ~PD
