A Tribute To Edgar Allan Poe... by ^WW^ Winged Warrior July.30.2019 A Winged Warrior 360 Reversible... -Ravens and Castles- Morbid castles cobwebbed upon haunting hills, Horrid crawling cadavers of blood bring spills… Ravens cawing carousingly amidst nocturnal nights, Cravens surrounding lunatics of fanatical frights… Wizards and wands wandering of sunken dungeons, Lizards lashing longing of fecal flies flying luncheons… Spiders savoring creatures cocooning of appetites, Writers writing of winding roads amongst candlelights… Ghostly apparitions attending of masters chambered, Mostly hauntings of dead relatives dismembered… Thunder & lightening resonating through humid halls, Under feeling of spells and incantations bouncing walls… Pivoting pendulums balancing upon lethal life and death, Riveting raging rivers calming anticipating final breath… Wearing witches and warlocks of demons delirious dancing, Swearing sentinels before crimson maddening moon trancing.

You have the Wings of a Warrior. So-- your Words always take flight- taking me to Worlds Unknown. Once again you have placed me in the Deep and Dark. :) And you do it so well. I will say, the darkness isn't where I like to stay. I have lingered in the shadows before. Written of those moments, just to see if I could. Congratulations my friend, on Poem of the Day. ~ Brandy

Congratulations!! I am so very pleased to see this very dark, and Poe'esque poem chosen to be awarded POTD! A very fine tribute made to the master of dark verse-- Edgar Allen Poe. And so right to include my immensely talented and very dear friend Victor in your notes.

I told you my friend, Mr. Poe could never reach your incredible, awesome, terrific gem of a poem - or if he could the competition would probably be too much for him! Perhaps he would just be very proud of you! Congrats ^WW^ on an unequaled poem on the soup for which you were honored with POTD - such a privilege to have a poet such as you in our midst! Hugs, Jennifer.
