A raven croaks in the distance
The rain pouring down
Thunder and lighting filling the ears
A mansion not too far away
Once filled with laughter and happiness
Now void of all feeling
The ravens that surround it
The only guests that visit anymore
Lenore
Her memory haunts its walls
And the resident inside
It was in the bleak December
When he lost his beloved
Her infectiously joyful smile
And her carefree nature
Nevermore
About “Nevermore”:
This poem is a response to fellow blogger, Kevin’s, No Theme Thursday prompt post for this week. He has awesome NTT prompts every week, do check out his blog for more.
I’m sure some of you could already tell, but this poem was inspired by Edgar Allen Poe’s, The Raven. It’s one of my favourite poems, if not my very favourite poem. I’ve always found it hauntingly beautiful and that is what I wanted to make the reader feel with this poem. I’m a simple woman, I see a raven, I write a poem inspired by Edgar Allen Poe. I left a few clues in there, for all the other Poe fans out there. Let me know if you noticed all or perhaps any of them. I’m happy with how this one turned out.
