@Elandra77 I tried I tried..but his writing too obscure for me
@revenant He wrote many poems.Try them. But he did seem to know quite a bit of the underworld and how it is. I am sure that goes back to Greek mythology or another. "Romance " is a nice poem which has it's own fan base.

@Elandra77 ahah I was joking about romance..Poe 's delivery is just not for me. I am a simple soul and I like direct. I got his collection last summer and I just could not..but got through Oscar wilde within 2 hours.
.
@revenant Very understandable.

@Elandra77 You can copy and past on here. This is my favorite lesser known poem by edgar allen Poe

“Alone”
BY EDGAR ALLAN POE
From childhood’s hour I have not been
As others were—I have not seen
As others saw—I could not bring
My passions from a common spring—
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow—I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone—
And all I lov’d—I lov’d alone—
Then—in my childhood—in the dawn
Of a most stormy life—was drawn
From ev’ry depth of good and ill
The mystery which binds me still—
From the torrent, or the fountain—
From the red cliff of the mountain—
From the sun that ’round me roll’d
In its autumn tint of gold—
From the lightning in the sky
As it pass’d me flying by—
From the thunder, and the storm—
And the cloud that took the form
(When the rest of Heaven was blue)
Of a demon in my view—
@Lostpoet True. His work is all in public domain.

That is a rather nice poem.

@Elandra77 I have a bad habit about posting things, I thought if it was online than I could.
