Edgar Allan Poe
was feeling just a little low.
For Lenore, his love was savin',
but he was only visited by a raven.
Edgar Allen Poe,
The infamously crazy poet we all know.
His story of " The tell-tale heart "
Is just plain nutty from the start!
Edgar Allen Poe
Shocked the world with darkened prose.
To form in minds the various frights
And keep them waking through the nights.
J. Edgar Hover
Was a political mover.
He ran the F.B.I. with success
Despite the rumors he liked to cross-dress.
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'
Entrant into Andrea Dietrich's "Seeking a Fresh Crop of Clerihews" contest

Our Love is Bold Strong written in Cursive
Our Love is Psalms Oshun and Spiritual Verses
You’re my Favorite Song that I repeat on purpose
To Love Forever More is giving deserving
Encore encore
-Edgar-
19th century writer, Edgar Allen Poe -
Romance and the macabre to his readers he would show.
Those who study literature likely know the poem “Lenore”
and that famous line of his: Quoth the Raven “Nevermore.”
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”
‘Edgar Allan Poe … ’ (Classical-Tribute) 64th Senryu
Edgar Allan Poe ...
Master of Scary Suspense
Tortured Ambience
The Raven … The Pit and The Pendulum
House of Usher … Annabel Lee , etc.
(“She Walks In Beauty, Like The Night”)
one of my favorite poetry-lines
Of a raven wrote Edgar Poe
That came but would never go
From its perch upon Pallas
Cuz it liked watching Dallas
On the TV picture show.
Alternate, sillier version:
Of a raven wrote Edgar Poe
That came but would never go,
Whilst it dreamt of its Muses,
Two of The Stooges;
Of Larry and of Curly but never Moe.
We never met
unlike in my dreams on a moving jet
shrouded in the blackness to come
counting the dead on my fingers and thumb
a toast to you and your etiquette form
a roast to you and forget the norm
for we love the void
we live in the void
the Moors are calling
and to our death we are falling
til we meet in the pit of blackness
I will write of your greatness.
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.
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.
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
To Edgar - whom I love in verse
Whose soul has met a desperate curse
Never to know his life's own worth
To Edgar - whom I've longed to meet
Whose purpose left him incomplete
Whose very hand spelled out defeat
To Edgar - who has come to fame
Yet while he walked - it was in shame
A haunted life - but not in vain
To Edgar - whose shadow falls on my floor
Whose unseen hands tap on my door
Whose pen shall move....ah....NEVERMORE
