'Dean's Raven', is an extremely well-written,spine-chilling and deftly descriptive piece. This talented poet's work was a pleasure to both read and review. I look forward to reading and reviewing your next post. Dean and his Raven have taken a big part of our heart with him. This is a six, but unfortunately I've run out of them. I look forward to seeing your next post.

This is another tribute to the late poet, Dean with an excellent choice of picture to complement it. It is touching to see the effect he had on other writers. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Gloria ....
This is just a fantastic sonnet written as a tribute to Dean. You've delved into his poetic quiver and delivered the arrow and Raven with great sensitivity and clearly acknowledged recognition of your admiration.
I did get a chuckle about the blood curdling screams. lol. That was a surprise the first time.
Super job and excellent addition to the book. :)

Hi Gloria Thank so much, I think we all got to know Dean, his personality and masterful poetry in a close way and all feel saddened to hear of his loss to us and his family
Yes the blood curdling screams were scary at times but boy how could he wrote a good story Cheers Chris

Hi Melissa Thank you for your lovely review and how sad to lose Dean I felt a sonnet was a fitting poem for him May his raven be forever with us Cheers Chris
Comment from Thomas Bowling
Dean owned the horror genre. He was a good friend. When I asked for help creating a post, he didn't just write to me, he sent me his phone number so he could walk me through the process.

Hi Thomas Yes he was a special man and generous in many ways despite his darkness and fears he entertained us like no other here He will be missed Cheers Chris
Comment from Justin Chopin
Well done Chrissy. I especially enjoyed the ending of your piece where you have a raven flying Dean to Heaven instead of a dove. I was also very intrigued by the paradox your piece presented about his personality that he loved to scare people with his horror tales but yet at his core He believed in God as his Heavenly Father. Great job with this piece.

Comment from JanPerry
A very touching tribute to the man. He touched me in my heart. Was he sick for long? Did he have cancer? I couldn't tell. Like a trooper he kept it to himself.

Comment from lyenochka
Thank you, Christine, for your lovely tribute. His family will be blessed with what you shared. I had similar things to say much like what you said in this stanza:
"And yet we know the real Dean could not hide
big hearted, generous, he was inside.
He loved his God; and firmly he believed
that when his time was up he'd be received."

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
Your sonnet is a great tribute to Dean and I enjoyed the sentiments here Christine, Dean will be greatly missed.
I struggled with the meter in the first line and would suggest:
"And with his pen he wrote macabre scenes"
Also:
"And yet we know the real Dean could not hide"
It would read better if the stress was on (Dean), I would suggest:
"And yet we know that Dean would never hide"
Love, Dolly x
