"... I humbly bid he go." Noooooo!!! Why? I think Poe would be a great muse; the Raven can then become a muse for your crow. :)
Enjoyed your choice of "O" words: woe, bandeau, Romeo, below, throe, bestow, ghetto, fro, bungalow, etc. Creative selections!
"... [EN]snared by ghosts of ..." Ever think about changing snared to ensnared? Just thought it might sound somehow more lyrical at the end. Just a thought. :)
I like this, muse or no. :)

'The Tell Tale Bard' is an extremely well-written and spine chilling piece. This talented poet's work was a pleasure to both read and review.

Crows are jolly good fellows. Sneaky, clever, greedy, usually sleek and, yes, handsome chaps. Ravens are crows with croup. Review now long enough,to the point:excellent.

Comment from Lulube
and a SOMO and I've never given a SOMO with 6 stars.
I'll tell ya, you would have won that contest, and that's without even seeing any other entries. The flow is perfect in each and every line, alliteration all over the place, terrific rhyming, great poemly story telling, nice ending to it too. And I think, Mr. Dean, that you are the finest poet and I have the pleasure to read your work. Mastering skill, poem after poem, style after style.
I do hope that heart of yours can take the pressure of writing such fine work, week after week.
Hope all is well

Nice one, Dean. Sorry you missed the deadline... looks like a winner. I lovvve that first picture. LOL! So Poe is your muse. That explains a lot. Well, you're stuck for eternity in that bungalow, I guess. So I won't expect any cheery poems from you... not that I ever did. :)

Dean;
Marvelously and fantastically well structured and composed this mono-rhyme, difficult as it may be, was spectacularly done. The difficulty of mono-rhyme to be able to Make each rhyming word less monotonous and repetitive Is extremely difficult. And you did an excellent job.
The tale itself or story Was extremely interesting and quite remarkably captivating throughout.
Your rhyming was neither forced nor labored, to say the least, And your rhythm flowed smoothly throughout your writing. Even your rhyming helped with the rhythmic flow.
What was even more sensational is your imagery which was very descriptive and remarkably expressive throughout: "I grasped my quill, daunting dim candle light, low, Then set about - like doomed lover, Romeo...". Very riveting and vivid with such clarity Throughout your writing
Thank you so much for sharing and posting this for everyone to be and may the Lord be with you always Dean.

Comment from lancellot
I think many of you writings do have the flavor (if I may) of Poe. You have the same steady build up. You also use multiple sensory inputs to get the feeling across. Well done

Comment from GracieAnn
Dean, this is a well written piece that takes the reader on a haunting journey with so many questions as to the fate of one who treads this path. Poe was a drug addict and his paranoia served to be a muse in his writings. Good word construction and combination. Well done. :0 GracieAnn
