There once was a poet from Boston town
Whose writings caused people many a frown
Some say alcohol is what took his life
Some say he was murdered due to a strife
But we all must agree that his work is renown

""Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, "" over how to judge this competition
Poe was a great writer both prose and poetry and, whatever his personal problems, his work deserves remembering. A fine tribute to a great poet.

Many thanks for this well presented and well written entry.
Your choice of poet matches one of my favourites (not that that will affect the judging) and is informative too.
Well done and good luck.

I have never been very good at understanding limericks and I am not good at critical comments but I can say that I found this interesting and nicely penned.
Wishing you the best of luck in the contest
Stay safe
