Comment from TheWritingType

Excellent

I really enjoyed this, the single rhyme was really forceful and the alliteration worked really nicely: congrats. What a great concept too!

Comment from Dawn Munro

Excellent

As always, Dean, your writing not only entertains, is so distinctive, and so well-presented it stands alone. You raise the bar, my friend...it's a shame you missed the deadline.

Thank you, Dawn. I thought about saving it for another time, but figured I would go ahead and promote and post it anyway. If this contest rears it's ugly head once again, I'll just have to think of something else.

Thanks again. :)

Well, the good news is that I don't think they consider contest entries for Poem of the Month. If this isn't it then I don't know how they figure such things. It does sound very Poeish if that is a word. Not forced at all either. It flows in a way that reminds me of his work but it isn't a copy or a facsimile. It has your stamp on it, I would say. Just awesome. mikey

what a beautifully haunting poem this is! It captured my imagination right away. I love the deep dark tone you've so cleverly woven in your poem!

Awww - a shame you missed the deadline for the contest. This is a real gem... and I like the complex layers of emotions you've it on throughout.

Hope your appointment went well,

You do indeed write the same way. You made it dark and gloomy with just a touch of good graces but not enough for me to get my hopes up. Too bad you missed the deadline....

I would give you six stars if they were mine to give, but not yet. Edgar is very proud of you, I'm sure. Who knows
just how close he is to you. Enjoyed the poem , but please tell me that's not you in the picture :)

Happy Haunting Gypsymoth

I like it very much; it's a great presentation and the graphics are terrific. With the perfect background.It flows nicely and rhyming is very good. I'm envious of your dialogue you chose the right words that fit with Poe's era. Great job Dean Good luck with it! Jim Lawler

I liked your poem, because otherwise, I also like the works of Poe. I like the way you approach the situation and how do you see was hugging dimly, yet as strong in the end. Congratulations, great job. A hug from Chile
