Poe

I was thinking about Edgar A. Poe's life

Old, poor, crazy Poe

Your life seemed so tragic

Filled with sorrow and economic woe

But your words, they were of magic

Went deep into the crazy mind

Your words and writing

Were of a different kind

Your work was lighting

The mysteries of insanity

As you dealt with pain

That slowly destroyed your sanity

The doubt and everlasting shame

Of the angelic loves

They cared for you, and gave you life

They were that of angelic doves

But with each of their death, caused you strife

Throwing you into madness

With each red demise

Filling your soul with sadness

Until your spirit began to die

Then walking dead, you tread

Looking for another miss

Each day filling with dread

Finally you felt lifeless

And you die

The world remembering

Your sad demise.

I liked this alot. You seem to have covered poe's history in this and you've made it simple to read and understand. While reading it I was agreeing with each line. Good job.

very cool... thought you did a great job on this... like how this kind of read like a story to me.. overall like the detail in this and thought you did a great job!!!

[Thomas B. Buckman]

This is really cool. I like it.

there are those with tragic lives, and it seems as though they wouldn't have the will for anything, but they continue to surprise us. Poe, he churned out brilliance from that mind of his.
You've summed that up, basically.
