Poetry, Profound

Spookily Bookily Dramatic apogee Edgar A. Poe's verses Death from curses Quite artistically characteristically His poems were renowned to be profound Gloomily Doomily So methodically he wrote of never more and sweet Lenore Poe was positively Imaginatively authoring horrid themes to dire extremes Foolishly Ghoulishly Did Poe write lucidly Now dearly departed Tell Tale Hearted Poems were tactical Anticlimactical He wrote of misery and mystery January 9th, 2021 Double Dactyl Contest Sponsor: William Kekaula

It took some thought, and the creation of silly words, but it was fun. Thank you for reading me and leaving such a kind message, David.

Your poetry is profound Jenna, Poe is held in high esteem by many and this poem, although, I don't know much about him, is perfection, breathtaking and what poetry is all about - I applaud you! Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Your remarks are very generous, Jennifer. Not all of his poetry is dark. I think you might like quite a few.

Double dactyl -- very facile, Jenna! Poe and Woe surely go pen in hand. Well-crafted! Cheers, Gershon

Thanks, Jan. His work has always intrigued me, though it’s very dark. I’m sure whatever theme you choose, you will do it justice.
