Edgar Poems - Poems about Edgar

Last night two events occurred together that are unlikely to repeat… It wasn’t even Halloween…so for them to happen in one night was certainly a treat! First to an Edgar Allan Poe Speakeasy we decided we would go… Deborah dressed as the Raven and me as Mr. Poe. In a dimly lit room we watched and listened as four...

“Tell all the truth but tell it slant—” So you whispered, Emily, through shrouded lace, while your pen carved light into Amherst shadows.

Poe shared his bipolar muse with a bedlam tipped quill filled with paranoid views, and his...

The Raven and the Bard -Daniel Henry Rodgers The Raven's quill drips shades of blackest night, Its haunting words, a melody of fright. The Bard's natural lines, like "Evangeline's" fair hair, Shed history's warm light to chase away all care . From shadowed chambers where dark ravens shriek, To hearthside tales that bygone glories speak; The Raven and the Bard, in Inky War...

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I tapped my keyboard, my eyes bleary As I tried to write a novel that was no bore I looked for inspiration, how to avoid clichés temptation I’d write about rejuvenation—hope for the lonely lass Lenore— An epic tale of a maiden born anew named Lenore— A blockbuster for evermore. Open here I flung the...

In the distance, a soul does mourn, The Raven caws, a heart forlorn, Fear grips tight, as life's sun sets, Having never danced, with wild regrets. A life unlived, a dream unchased, A heart that yearns, but feels misplaced, In twilight's grasp, the mind's despair, Echoes of 'what if' fill the air. Lost in the void of wasted days, The Raven's wings, a somber...
