Steeped in depths of deepest sorrow, Pains of others she did borrow; Wrapped in cloak of midnight raven, Waiting for sun's rise on morrow. Wrapped in cloak of midnight raven, Mind in flood with image graven; A glint of hope does pierce her night, With pale glimpse of peaceful haven. A glint of hope does pierce her night, With rising sun's pre-dawning light; The inner embers start to glow, As soul leaves dark in angel flight. Steeped in depths of deepest sorrow, Pains of others she did borrow; Wrapped in cloak of midnight raven, Waiting for sun's rise on morrow.

So awesome, Linda. I had to go pull up some Poe after reading your verse to my children. I read The Raven to them. Guess what? I got through almost all of it before they lost interest! Very cool indeed. A poetry lesson brought to my children via your hand! Smiling at you! Patricia |

Why do you write so good? I liked it. Peace. "They say that truth will set you free, but then so will a lie. It all depends if you're trying to get to the promised land or just trying to get by." |

(big hugggssssssss) Oh my gosh, this is wonderful writing, sweet friend, this somewhat remninded me of Magnus' poems with the Edgar Allen Poe atmosphere, how I can relate to this feeling so much as I felt like this as a little boy! (sigh) This is excellent, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth |
