First of all, Poe is my favorite poet ever. I recently got his complete collection as a gift from my father and I have read it nonstop.

I love the third stanza, it's so creepy and awesome at the same time. I can just envision the demons chanting.... eeek!

I love the trailing off at the ending... it gives the reader to make their own assumption.

Great job!

In my opinion...you didn't quite hit the note with this one....it just wasn't morbid enough for the title..do you understand what I mean? I honestly think it's because you chose to rhyme here and it gave the verse a kind of melody which, for the content of the poem....doesn't really match? There's nothing really wrong with the poem ...just mismatched with the title so....I'd change that if I were you....still...I did enjoy the read.

Thanks again my friend....Whisk

I deeply enjoyed this. It was a very clever idea to write a poem like this and I believe it's very well written.
