Borrow'D Plumes Poem by Adam Lindsay Gordon

Borrow'D Plumes

Rating: 2.8


[A Preface and a Piracy]

PROLOGUE

OF borrow’d plumes I take the sin,
My extracts will apply
To some few silly songs which in
These pages scatter’d lie.

The words are Edgar Allan Poe’s,
As any man may see,
But what a Poe-t wrote in prose,
Shall make blank verse for me.

One hopes this is not confession but humor instead. It tickled my funny bone
