Edgar Allen Poe

I think I was injected with something evil when I was an embryo. Because I was quickly rejected for my dark path following Edgar Allen Poe..... Mr. Poe Inspired the push of my writing pen. I've admired every one of his works over and over again. "The Raven" sent chills down the very core of my spine, But that poem left me wanting more, like food for a canine! "The Fall of the House of Usher" was dark and so damn twisted. Had me looking for that ghost in the trailer park that never existed! "The Black Cat" begin to train and inspire me. I emerged from my domain and entered the fire for eternity! So finally it begins the deep rage within. His poetry pushed my writing pen and I carried around an evil grin! *Written for Amy Greens contest "Wow me with inspiration"
