"The Raven" a poem by Edgar Allen Poe

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!

I was reading all the poems that were placed in "Mamma" contest, and I must say, thus one is the only one that I liked, and that's why I am commenting on it. It's very simple, but lovely.

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..

I enjoyed this lighthearted read this morning. I agree about the Raven--creepy indeed! Had he ventured to my mother's house he would have regretted it. Although kind hearted, she was not a force to be reckoned with.

It was fun to write. My mom has a slow fuse, but Lord help you when she reaches the end of it!

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
