Dear Mr poe

by Kira LeMay   Feb 9, 2016


I can feel your heart beating Mr. Poe 
If you prefer Edgar, I have no clarity
(This is a letter to a corpse, I think you know) 

Your rotten flesh, no seam could sew
Maggots eat your bones to a cavity
I can feel your heart beating Mr. Poe

I know the pain you felt, and felt it so
Just a broken heart, a dark mentality
(This is a letter to a corpse, I think you know) 

A misfit of society, so long ago
Leaving words to outlive mortality
I can feel your heart beating Mr. Poe

A debt to whom you may owe 
You've paid in beautiful insanity
(This is a letter to a corpse, I think you know)

True to darkness are your words; but let the raven crow 
I, a masochist pupil to your profanity 
I can feel your heart beating Mr. Poe 
(This is a letter to a corpse, I think you know)

    If I am not mistaken this is a villanelle. The repetition of some lines is evident. It's a good read. It has a haunting atmosphere. My only suggestions is to delete those symbols that appear on your poem.

    The symbols usually appear when there's "an extra space" between words or after the line ended. The way to fix them, it's to make sure that there are no extra spaces.

    Example...

    Hello ( there are 3 spaces between Hello and the parenthesis)

    It should be like

    Hello (have only one space between the hello and the parenthesis)

    I hope this helps.
