Edgar Allan Poe (19 January 1809 - 7 October 1849 / Boston)

edgar allan poe is the reason i started writing poems and this was the first poem i ever read

Great poem. I had a friend who would recite every chance he got. It got annoying, but I still enjoy the rythum.

Annabel Lee is such a lovely poem! It's one of my favorites.

This is my all time favorite poem, and Poe is the master craftsman, the bar of perfection to which I aspire, the genius who understood that every word must be carefully chosen to create atmosphere and to achieve a specific end.

i love this poem because it expresses the most beautiful love story ive every known

You only have to read this poem once and you will remember it always.

this poem is the saddest but yet i know what its about he was inlove with his cusin (annabel Lee) and when she died he wrote this poem. so sad if any one wants to talk about e.a.p. im very knoledgeable about him!

This is one of my favorites, since the first time I was introduced to Poe in 8th grade!

This poem is the saddest and most beautiful I have ever heard. It really gets to me. I first heard it when I was in HIgh school in the orchestra. We played the piece of music that was based on the poem and it was hauntingly beautiful.

Poe is without a doubt the best poet of all eternity. His use of words convey to use a world we can only dream of. This poem is full of wonder. His poems make you want to turn away and read more all at the same time.
