Notes About The Poem

Sonnet - Edgar Allen Poe

~Sonnet: Edgar Allen Poe


Today in history, great day you see
Not only we are celebrating MLK day,
But long ago, in a day like today;
Great poet Edgar A.Poe was born too

On a winter day to this world he came,
Both of his parents were actors,died young;
Born in Boston, great writer; poet b'came
Resided in England till few years sprung

Attended university  back home 'gain,
For only a year he did it they claim;
Edgar's drinking, gambling, has seized his brain,
Back in Boston his first book, brought him fame.

His fame as great author, poet, spread wide,
In Baltimore,Edgar Allen Poe, died.
