"The Raven" a poem by Edgar Allen Poe

No Nonsense

I read The Raven in its entirety,
I must admit it's kind of creepy.

If some big ol' bird with devil eyes
Came tap tap tapping to my sitting room,
I'd be leave leave leaving for the refuge 
Of my mother's house.

Mother's house is a house of safety,
And if that bird dared to follow 
It would bow and say "Milady,"
And nevermore forget it's place~
'Cause Mom don't brook no nonsense
From neither man nor beast!

It's very simple, but lovely. Chetta Achara March 29, 2024 at 8:10 AM Thank you so much for taking time to comment on my poem. I appreciate that you appreciated it.

Silent One March 10, 2024 at 8:46 AM It is Mother's Day here in the UK, so I thought it would be nice to feature mum related poems.. A very interesting and most poetic take on the contest theme.. Congratulations on your placement.. Chetta Achara March 10, 2024 at 8:56 AM Thank you. It was fun to write, and as a bonus it made my mom laugh.

Daniel Henry Rodgers February 28, 2024 at 4:55 AM Dear Chetta, You had me laughing out loud! Your honesty about "The Raven" being creepy is relatable, and the image of leaving for your Mom's is perfectly hilarious. The final line about your Mom's power is brilliant – a true force! Thanks for sharing this lighthearted and witty poem. - Blessings, Daniel Chetta Achara February 28, 2024 at 6:18 AM Thank you. The Raven is beautifully written. I only wish I had that much talent!
