Wow! What a great poem about Poe's love for Lenore. His death from alcohol. You nailed this Deb :)Word choices and flow were excellent.

What choice for me, a life alone?
Her quiet crypt my welcome home
Tainted bottle beckons nigh
Upon my lips a tortured sigh

Loved the ending.
Love you Cindy

5/5 David

Death from a bottle is always saddening. It seems especially heart wrenching however when the sips are out of pain from losing the one we love.

You wrote this piece very mystically and romantically at the same time. I find that this is the one challenge I have failed to overcome.
