    The raven comes rapping

    Tapping at my door

    I sit waiting,

    For my sweet Lenore



    The walls start to sweat

    The raven keeps rapping

    I get my gun

    To shut out the tapping



    “Let me in” He yells.

    I take another sip

    The gun by my lap

    And the raven repeats.



    Why are you here!

    I yell to him

    He keeps tapping

    I won’t let you in!



    You’re driving me mad!

    He keeps rapping

    I get my gun

    And he starts laughing



    “Where is your Lenore?”

    Do not speak her name!

    I steady my gun

    Ready to aim



    I take the shot

    The blood starts to pour

    Not from the raven,

    but from my head to the floor.

    Wow! A brillant tribute to Poe! I really like the ending. The rhyme scheme is great too. This was a well written work and I applaud you!

    Peace and love
