Poe Much In Little Time

Introduced to Edgar Allen Poe, many and many years ago...
By a teacher who quoted to me; of his love for Annabelle Lee
How his bride died at an early age and left him sad and depraved
This resulted in his drinking to increase because he couldn't deal with grief
Consumption of much alcohol  brought to him an early grave.


(Edgar Allen Poe, January 19, 1809 until 1849.)

It seems that some must burn the candle at both ends in order to finish their work. This seem to be the case in "Poe Much In Little Time". He certainly had the last name for it,"Poe", In poetry.Smile. Sincerely, Love, Moses

Hi Sara, I need to read more of Edgar Allen Poe. He was a great poet, so sad about his true love passing away some times people just don't get over wounds that run that deep. Poor guy. This is a wonderful tribute to him. Keep writing!! Love Light Patty
