PoeA Poem by Carlos Lorenzo EstradaHappy birthday to one of the great poets and writers of any generation, Edgar Allen Poe.Poe (Quoth the Raven nevermore 1/19/1809 - 10/7/1849) By Carlos Lorenzo Estrada Into the bleak of dreary night In somber thought of prose he'd write Beneath a moon wane grey His words composed would forever convey Alliterations meant to beguile In pensive mood and distinctive style What nightmares came to him haunted dreams of melancholic requiem Alas, we shall never ever know That spark of genius in such troubled soul Did enchanted spirits whisper to him Revealing secrets most human of sin Or was it in purpose of reason To unlock the madness of villainous treason His tales speak to us all In a black cat and raven's prophetic call A writer who was more than his art An intellectual mind with a telltale heart So remember should fear ever grow The darkly grim writings of Edgar Allen Poe
