Sepulchral Whispers: a Plathian Annabel Lee Redux
In the shade and slip of paternal seas,
a daughter dwells, known to all,
consumed in thought by maternal deceits.
Angel's flared bells blow a squall,
in protest of her love for only me.
I was a father, and she my child,
a fated mistake incarnation,
an angry descendant, the sea grows wild.
Waves of

Love
Topic Sentence: The one thing that poisons and endangers love, has always been the test of time.
For the stars shine bright,
On the loneliest of nights
To Give way a passage to Thee
The love I fear is somewhere near and dear to me
As my heart skips a beat,
Yours takes a seat,
Upon my idled thrown
And the

Annabel
When she was three, my daughter got a doll
and took her to bed with her every night.
And she'd rarely leave it out of her sight,
they were inseparable, I recall.
Around five, she named her doll Annabel
and would host tea parties for her best friend.
But only they were allowed to attend,
an elite and selective clientele.
When she became

A Poem To My Annabel Lee
I wanted but to write
In blindness and in sight,
A poem for nobody to read,
Except my Annabel Lee, indeed .
A poem she won't place on her bookshelf,
A poem not for her mother to see,
A poem to keep only to herself,
A love poem to my Annabel Lee.
I wanted to

In the Company of Annabel
Annabel walks her eight legged friend
On a leash for the sake of safety into town
On a cold day born straight from autumn
At least the chill will keep them on the narrow
The birch tree shares her soul with God
Leaves crisping, as of late, now lost of shade
Share their demise scurrying off deciduous
Around the ground before the

Annabel
Alone she waits for him
Alive or dead she waits
Anxious down to her soul
As the war ebbs and flows
All thoughts of victory
Any bright tomorrows
Arouse most painful dread

pure deep faith
The most beautiful woman

Clear opal sparkeling

Edgar Allan Poe's, Annabel Lee
It was many and many a year ago
In a kingdom by the sea.
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of Annabel Lee;---
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.
She was a child and I was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea.
But we

O Caroline, O Annabel
O Caroline,
Your lips are so divine.
That, I wish I were the rose,
You kissed and left for the crows.
For, flawless I would be beneath the tip,
Of your sweet tasting lip.
O Caroline, answer me or is that even your name,
Or did you change it to Annabel, just to put this love ever rising to shame.
O Caroline, O

"annabel"!!
Any way, she makes my heart beat pure.
No one loves her like me I’m sure.
Nothing will make me act in this way,
Apart from this little one having all the say!
Believe when I tell you she is a pain.
Engulfed with “snot”, however this is her reign!
“Listen Dad!” (I have to, or she’ll drive me insane)!
