A Short Ode To Edgar Allen Poe Poem by Jim Milks

A Short Ode To Edgar Allen Poe

Rating: 4.7


OH Edgar my friend,
my morose brother
Thine rhyme doth touch the heart like no other
with your quick and wily pen;
What hurts were you trying to mend
Loneliness was your domain
A broken hearted lover
Forever pining in vain

Isolation, lose and pain
And joys so high
With them you can reach the sky

On this one thought I shall ponder evermore
“What fate befell the lovely Lenore? ”
Edgar, Dear Edgar
A life of turmoil spilled across countless pages
Your sorrows, a gift to the ages

i like your tribute to the founder of the grim and ghastly, quite amazing that his body might have ended up in a barrel of rot gut whiskey!
