Edgar Allan Poe
was feeling just a little low.
For Lenore, his love was savin', 
but he was only visited by a raven.

Edgar Allan Poe
 He had a large gambling debt, many he did owe
A sports team is named in honor of him
 Aptly named the Ravens, a touchdown with vim

Edgar Allan Poe
Is he friend or is he foe
He wrote a great poem called The Raven
A sly bird known for misbehavin'

Premium Member Fun Marathon Poetry Inspired By Edgar Allan Poe

Running after Midnight is eerie 
Passing mile twenty-one, weak and weary
All other runners finished early
A few quaint and curious are waiting
Some encouraging, some baiting
Only this and nothing more
Quoth my sore feet “Nevermore”

Poem For Allan Berg

Shot down 
like a dog
     By f....Nazi bastards
   His memory enlightens 
us
         we remember pain and worrow 
since we are human
and the dawn sill come 
       for us 
  If we hold fast 
to our ideals 
   And that is difficult 
   Quite difficult 
       but not impossible 
       not impossible
       not impossible 
       not....

Alone Corona Sonnet

Alone  Corona Sonnet 
From childhood’s hour I have not been
as others were, I have not seen
as others saw
in these dark times we live in
i am afraid of being alone
dying all alone 
AS  	GENERAL 	CORONA
SPREADS 	HIS	ARMIES
ALL	OVER	THE 	WORLD?
I

DON”T 

WANT 

TO

DIE

It is the desire of the moth
for the star…..
                 -  Edgar Allan Poe

I awoke this morning
to find the powdery imprint
of wings on a window 
that must have been left 
by a moth trying
to get in when it
careered full flight 
into glass, blinded 
and driven lovesick 
by the glow from a light
I had kept turned on 
when reading 
Edgar Allan Poe
late last night.

Premium Member Tea with Edgar Allan Poe

As I sat with Edgar Allan Poe, 
my heart beat like a so-and-so.
I invited him in for tea
and, as that the son-of-a-gun looked at me,
I looked at him through my filmy eye,
and asked him if he could deny
that if I was anything, I was not mad,
that my case was ironclad.
He had the disposition of a grouch,
but, as a writer, he was no slouch -
though he made it his chosen mission
to exploit me without permission.

The Ghost of Edgar Allan Poe Possesses Me

Why did I find you lovely
Not as an insult but of my own falling out
I do not think I was even in love
Why do relationships come and go so fast
Lovers lasting only weeks at a time
A fear of love I assume
And I am the one being afraid
Do not come near me, women of soft wax, daughters of Icarus
For I am the blinding sun, passionate inferno

How do I go about ending a beautiful thing
How do I end the life of a snow white fawn
