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

One of my all time favorites. My 9th grade English teacher introduced me to Poe's poetry, and I've loved it ever-since.

Edgar Allan Poe will for evermore be one of the greatest poets of the 19th century. Truly, a poet to admire for his style.

Sometimes, it's good to revisit the works of the masters. I've enjoyed this poem ever since I first read it. It's among Poe's best works.

Annabel Lee, a classic, deepest in its thoughts, even with eyes closed, and mind dark, can see and feel its meaning.

one of my favorite poems, the poem conveys a profound meaning as well the language is just too good to be recreated.the poem is of 6 paras, but it's so well written that is flows with beauty, i feel like I've only read 3-4 paras.
it truly deserves to be in the top 10 list.

Well.. I really love this poem. I love how macabre it sounds by repeating those sentences and words. I love the way he's trying to tell us that his beloved died. At first it seems like he's not brave enough to use some strong word, so he says A wind blew out of a cloud chilling my beautiful Annabe Lee... It sounds so scary, but still so calming. Personally, my favourite lines are:
And neither the angels in haven above,
Nor the demons down under the sea,
Can ever dissever my sould from the soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee.
I can feel the power of words while saying ever dissever.
E.A.Poe is and will ever be my favourite poet.
