Marvelous! Given that I have a twelve inch tall stuffed raven sitting atop a glass case in my office, this poem hit me dead center. And the illustrations were jewels added to the language.
Dream as engine to divine
What latent spirit comes to mind
Who is she?

I think you have an undisputed place in "Horror." This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for a darkened read. Good job.

Oh, Poe...now you bring back the best memories Dean. There are few who remain in my aged mind, and this is one. It's hard when we wake up from a dream and it felt so real.
thanks much,
karen

Yes, and this nightmare really took ahold of me, Karen. I began writing this as soon as my feet hit the cold floor! Thanks for such a great review, my friend!

Dean Kuch,
Well chosen words, colorful arrangement and wonderfully decorated thoughts. Very nicely written work. Perfectly arranged. Very good formatting. Smooth flowing.
There was no SPAG. No typos. No homophones. No problems at all.

Speakers down ... of course!
How do you keep doing it, Dean? You churn them out one after the other and each piece is unique, riveting and certainly not trite.
L .... okay, I won't say it! Superbly well done - as always! :)
Sweet dreams tonight, I hope. Feeling better now?

This is a delightful poem. The tone is just creepy enough. The word choice is strong. It has a nice flow to it. The rhyming scheme enhances the piece.

Comment from evrenios
You certainly are clever - what a great idea to put the music with it. Tell me, who is playing the Moonlight Sonata? I would like to know the pianist. I love the way you captured Poe's superb meter and rhyme. This is a wonderful work, clever, innovative - Thank you! The video of (Lenore) turning into a skelton - wow! You were inspired.

Thanks, evrenios, I am very glad that you liked this ode to Poe's Lenore. I'll have to see if I can round up the pianists name for you somehow...
Comment from ELumpkins
Pretty auwsome story, well written and the musical background was treffic. I was doing fine until that picture of the lady at the bottom changed into a skull, that threw me. As for the poem, It is very interesting and sort of scary. Good work

Comment from ravenblack
If I had a six, you'd get it. You definitely captured Poe's rhythm, rhyme and phrasing. What a dream! Whatever you ate before you fell asleep, eat it again. As for Lenore- you might have to duke it out with Mikey for the rights to her hand. May your next dream be Annabelle Lee.

Hah, I didn't eat anything, ravenblack. But, I believe I will refrain form studying Poe's work after ten pm, just before bedtime. Whoa, my heart can't take too many more nightmares like that one!

Making no sound, nary a peep, he flew down upon my bed.
"Why do you torment me so, I'm just a man, and nothing more,
I know your creed now, please, just go--when, from my grasp, he tore...
