Gone

On a night so unbarring, with the thunder loudly roaring.
I awoken to his voice that I once longed for.
Tired and a bit dazed, I walked to the bathroom and in awe I gazed.
He was staring at himself looking through the mirror near the door
“What is wrong dear?” I whispered, as I slowly looked towards the floor,
      His body was no more.
Shivering soundless cries echoed with crushing endless lies
Stumbling over rugs and clothes dragging me to the floor.
With a blink, the room went black and oh did I try not to look back.
No sound, no movement or a flinch I did see as I hid behind my door.
For this house must be haunted of my long lost paramour
      Alive he is no more.

Author notes

Parody of “The Raven”

This was an assignment to write a poem kinda in the form of Poe and this is what i came up with. I personally don't like my poem cuz i don't find that it makes sence and it was kinda difficult to write something that isn't from my heart if you know what i mean.

Though i do love Poe's poetry. I envy his work and love reading it.

Please tell me what you think

    I thought it was charming...though my work is horrible,...but writing someone elses work is hard....to me its just rwriting it out their books and trying to sell it as ours...quite illiterate of your teacher..but i was once myself told by my 9th grade teacher,...i could be the next edgar allen poe..but words and looks are decieving when the phrase is sometimes beyond what true critiques would say..anyway great write..i loved it..
