Poet

With a surge of great elation, it has come to my attention`

That literary works like those of Poe’s

Often use alliteration, and I guess that I should mention,

Allusion to events of long ago.

In dim and dark and dreary downs, poets’ words are often found,

Traveling from heart to head to hand.

On the door, some tapping sounds: a raven perches, looks around.

On a bust of Pallas, still, it stands.

Pictures painted by our letters release our minds from the cruel fetters

Which bind imagination to the earth.

Poems come and give us shelter in moments that are bad or better.

Rejoice as creativity gives birth.
