Congratulations on winning the contest with this wonderful piece! I know I praised it before, but that was then, and this is now, for now it is not just good, but a winner!
This is an absolutely beautiful write! The way you put your words together paint a wonderful picture in my mind. Your talent shines through very strong in this one. Awesome!
Wonderfully brooding, yet hopeful in it's undertone. A beautifully commemorative Poe-etic style (sorry, couldn't pass up the opportunity...).
I would only change the words "sleep" to "sleeps", as it is grammatically more correct in the structure in which you are using it ("sleeps he not" is the same as "he sleeps not". See how that works?)
I'm a Poe fan, so this was certainly appealing and enjoyable. Thank you, Deborah.
I really do like this one Debby...Your meter, rhythm and rhyme pattern is terrific. I also like the Poe-ish influence in your lines....I always believe that the nighttime lowers one's resistance to depression and that it is the time when one feels most vulnerable....It is so much harder to pretend that life is 'perfect' in the dark. You are an excellent addition to our poet's family with your originality of style and thought.
Very occasionally I read a poem that stops me dead. This is such a poem.
Wonderful imagery and flow, it makes my efforts pale by comparison, I salute you as a poet.
Please let us have more.
Brian.
Ah, Edgar, my Poe! This is absolutely brilliant! It is intricate, filled with insightful clues of dead of night. Exquisite imagery, and daring flow, for the words you employ can easily trip the swiftest of tongues. Vincent Price, my foot! I would love to hear Edgar himself orate this Masterpiece! Little by little, you are exhibiting the talent that I knew you had. I saw it the minute I read your work. But you showed restraint and I think I know why! I'm impressed Debbie! I absolutely love this poem!
Welcome !
