Dean would have loved this! You totally nailed this Nod to Poe! Well written, expressed, and illustrated. A bittersweet read this evening. Good luck in the contest.

These tersets seem to give an overview of Poe's poem "The Raven".
You use a similar girl's name in your poem as is used in the original.
You use alliteration and a new word psychopomp.
Good luck in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy.

A morbid interpretation of Poe's poem and he has haunted a few of us and the haunting continues in your appropriate poem here, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

This poem speaks how harsh, disturbing and destructive news bearer from purgatory like a psychopomp is a creepy, black raven; well said, well done; thanks for sharing this. ALCREATOR

What a great tribute to Poe. He would have enjoyed your poem it truly captured his style. What a timely piece, so close to Halloween. Your picture added to the experience. Your entire package gets a thumbs up.

A very well-written 5-7-5 suite and a nod to Alan Poe in memory of Dean Kuch who loved the author and his own work is also legendary and an honor to say we kind of know him through his work.

Psychopomp earns your stars in itself--you should keep it in mind for the unusual word series. This is a haunting poem, per Poe. Cheers. LIZ (sugg: sub adj: for dark (superfluous re ravens).
