It's as long as "The Raven" and nearly the same rhyme scheme. Enjoy!

Hello, Than Pence , and good afternoon! *Sun*

Alas, one more strike and this warrior will be defeated! (I'm here for one more review *Wink*). This was a greatly terrible (or terribly great?) tribute to one of my favorite authors that made me laugh, so it shall get four and a half stars. Once again, here are my rating and reviewing policies for your reference: "Bobbi's Rating and/or Reviewing Policy" . If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know.


A few things I noticed as a reader:

Okay, this is crazy, but like I have told many a victim writer, I hold in high regard anything that can make me laugh out loud (and anything mentioning Zelda, but I haven't told anyone that yet *Wink*). And I say that perhaps eighteen people felt pretty close to the same way, give or take.

Here's the winning lines for me...

Though rather simply, I can guess, the bird did represent a mess
That lived inside his broken chest because he missed some dead, old ho.
Did I, abhor, just call Lenore, the dear dead mistress, a common ho?
I sure did for I’m no Poe...

As Death, it wields knife of brass that pierces flesh, takes life for show.
Pray, do tell just what the hell did Death, in fact, intend to show?
“That life’s a bitch” says Mister Poe.


Yeah, those two made me laugh for entirely too long. *Laugh* *Rolling*

I didn't see much in the way of typos here, at least nothing that tripped me up reading it. Perhaps the only trip was how long it was—but it wouldn't be a proper tribute to Poe if it wasn't long and perhaps a little meandering. Well done on a "terrible" tribute. *Thumbsupl*

Thank you for allowing me to review your piece. I'm just another reader and writer so use or discard any of my suggestions at your personal discretion. If you make changes and would like me to reassess your piece, feel free to e-mail me. *Mail*

Keep writing and carry on! *ThumbsUpL*
