Karen This review is the first poem I ever understood. It inspires me to continue to avoid poetry. 🙂 Great one, Federico!

Thank you Karen! Oh Gosh! Poetry is so insufferable lol, even as short as this one xD. The Simpsons parody is pretty good though :D

CarolG I don't know, I kinda enjoyed your poem! I can only hear Edgar Allan Poe's poem read in the voice of Vincent Price (1963 movie) but you may be too young to remember him!

Jan Lol seems poetry is your hidden talent, Frederico! I never acquired a taste for poetry either, but for some reason I have a fondness for The Raven. I can't even begin to explain myself....

Thank you Jan! My hidden superpower sucks! That's the only poem I'll read from Poe, and only because it's one of the most famed in literature, but that's it I'm DONE xD

Absolutely, we all have our preferences, and that's what makes GR so beautifully varied <3. Thank you Alexandra :D

Christian Savin For someone who doesn't like poetry, you definitely do a better job than most poets out there! xD

Thank you Christian! Short, simple and near non existent. That's my secret xD


Amina (ⴰⵎⵉⵏⴰ) You're sure you loath poetry? You did an awesome job above!


Thibault Busschots I have to admit, I liked this one a bit more than you. But poetry is not for everyone.


amyhardlyreads ✨ Ahahaha pure gold 🤣 even tho I love E. A. Poe very much


message 34: by Marcos (new)

Marcos GM 5 ⭐ to it! (your poem, not Poe's)
I only know about it for The Simpsons, I haven't read it yet, but kinda wanting it now. I think I'll read it after The fall of the house of Usher, I really want to read that.

Thank you Amina! Three times I've read poetry, three times I've hated it. And whenever I find some in my novels (thankfully not often), I always skim it xD

Thank you Thibault! It's certainly not for me. I have this book with all Poe's short stories and poems, I'm not touching any of the poems, except this one xD

Thank you very much Marcos! The Simpsons parody made an excellent job with this one! I didn't exactly checked word for word, but give or take a few things, most of it was there. It's really short too, twenty minutes at most. I only read it because it was SO short and because it's considered one of Poe's finest works. The House of Usher is very good too :D

I know it's short but I have a book with The fall... among other stories, and it includes this I think. If not, now I know where to find it thanks to you.

Yun Haha! I'm always afraid that will be my reaction to poetry too. Sorry this didn't work out.


Federico DN Yun wrote: "Haha! I'm always afraid that will be my reaction to poetry too. Sorry this didn't work out."

I can't stand it Yun. Not even when I happen to find it within novels, I just instantly skim it xD


Debra lol, you poem was perfection, Federico!


Federico DN Debra wrote: "lol, you poem was perfection, Federico!"

Thank you Debra! Poetry. Yuck! I hate it, even if it's mine. I just birthed a monster xD

Lol. I'm reading this book with all of Poe's short stories and the first thing I wanted to do was remove the nastiest horriblest thorn of all, his Raven poem. There's a whole bibliography with his abundant poems too which I am never, EVER going to touch xD


message 49: by Rosh (new) - rated it 4 stars

Rosh 😂😂
I hope you love his stories better. Happy reading with the rest of the anthology, Feddie! 🤗


Alejandro Poetry isn't my thing either ;)
