eclipse Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 My love she never cameinstead i got the ocean rainpouring down in my room,the raven rapping at my doorpreserves my spirit in its winter tomb.My love she never cameinstead i got the winter snowThe cunning wind blowing at my door,chants my loves name forever more.My love she never came Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larsen M. Callirhoe Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Hello Eclipse, I too will echo the sentiments that this is Poe-ques and this is smooth on the eyes to read. Really enjoyed the enchanting write so thank you for sharing. victor Quote Larsen M. Callirhoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank E Gibbard Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 With the raven and forever more the Poe comparisons are inevitable and the blackish mood. Very effective I thought Eclipse. Only nit use of the little i, a personal bugbear, sorry to say. Good to see your work as ever. Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyv Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 One of your best, Barry. Lots of sadness -- the speaker waited for a long time. She never came.
