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

The year you have listed on the copyright, is the year I had to do a book report on Poe for school. Unfortunately at the time, I was too young to truly appreciate his life and struggles. I've often thought, from time to time, that I should revisit that book now. Perhaps I will; thank you for this post!

I like what you are doing with the immortals. Poe. My doppelganger.

He did write some amazing stories.
But I think he was standing on that fragile line between here and there.
Enjoyed your write.
